This compact ground-floor apartment in South West Dunstable offers an affordable, low-maintenance home close to local shops, bus routes and M1 Junction 9. With 970 years remaining on the lease, no ground rent and a low annual service charge, it’s a straightforward buy for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a city-edge base.
The layout is practical: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom within approximately 355 sq ft. The building is modern and well-kept with double glazing and landscaped communal areas. An allocated off-street parking space adds everyday convenience.
Notable running details are plain: the property uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity, and the service charge increases by 50% if the flat is let — important for buy-to-let calculations. The accommodation is small and will suit single occupants or couples; the interior will benefit from updating to maximise comfort and rental/ resale appeal.
In short: long lease and low holding costs make this a sensible entry-level purchase, but buyers should budget for heating running costs and modest refurbishment to modernise the flat.
