Summary - 79 DRAKES AVENUE, LEIGHTON BUZZARD LU7 3AF
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Practical living with low energy bills and private garden.
Four bedrooms with master en suite and built-in wardrobes
Set on the Heath Meadows estate, this modern four-bedroom detached house balances family-friendly layout with low-running costs from fitted solar panels. The ground floor offers a separate lounge and dining room alongside a fitted kitchen/diner with French doors that open onto a private rear garden — practical for daily family life and weekend entertaining.
Upstairs provides four bedrooms, including a master with en suite and built-in wardrobes, plus a family bathroom; the home suits growing families who need defined living spaces rather than large open-plan rooms. A driveway and single garage add straightforward parking and storage, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note the property’s compact overall size (approx. 888 sq ft) compared with many four-bedroom homes, and that some nearby secondary schools hold Inadequate Ofsted ratings. The neighbourhood shows higher-than-average crime and relative area deprivation, which may concern some purchasers. There is a small ongoing estate upkeep charge of around £16 per month and council tax sits above average.
Overall, this is a well-presented, modern family home with sensible running costs and practical outdoor space. It will suit buyers who prioritise functional layout, energy efficiency, and convenient amenities over large internal floor area or a central, low-crime location.
