Summary - Richmond Drive, Houghton Regis, Dunstable LU5 5GD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary first-floor one-bedroom apartment with balcony and parking, near M1 connections.
Open-plan lounge/kitchen with integrated appliances and private balcony
Bright, modern and compact, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance living. The open-plan lounge/kitchen with integrated appliances and a private balcony creates a versatile living space for day-to-day life and entertaining. Allocated off-street parking, lift access and secure entry bring practical convenience.
The property sits in a contemporary development built 2007–2011 and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an average-sized footprint of 576 sq ft. The generous bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the bathroom is finished in a modern suite. Easy M1 access supports commuters.
Buyers should note the financial and local-context facts: remaining lease c.110–111 years and combined service charge and ground rent around £350 per month (approx. £4,200 yearly). Broadband speeds are slow in the area and the neighbourhood is classified as relatively deprived — factors to weigh for long-term living or rental demand. Council tax costs are very low, which helps running costs.
Overall this apartment offers ready-to-live-in modern accommodation with sensible commuter links and rental potential, but carries above-average service charges and limited local digital connectivity. It will suit someone prioritising a contemporary, low-upkeep home with straightforward transport links.
