This substantial six-bedroom detached house on High Street, LU4, is arranged over three floors and sits on a large, wider-than-average plot with scope for development (STPP). The home suits a large or extended family needing flexible living zones: two generous reception rooms, a separate study, and a full-floor master suite provide space and privacy. Dual driveways deliver extensive off-street parking — a strong convenience in this central location.
The ground floor has a fitted kitchen, separate study, shower room and two sizable receptions that work well for family life and entertaining. Five double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor, while the whole top floor is given over to a large master bedroom, offering potential to add an en-suite if desired. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
Practical considerations are presented openly. The house dates from the mid-20th century and cavity walls are understood to have no added insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for possible energy-efficiency improvements. Some rooms show wear and will benefit from modernization; any development requires the usual planning permissions (STPP). The wider area is classified as deprived and the local demographic is largely social-renting young families, which may affect resale dynamics.
Location is a key strength: Leagrave station and the M1 are close by for commuters, with plentiful local amenities, schools (including two rated Outstanding), places of worship and community facilities within easy reach. The property is freehold and being sold with a complete chain to help simplify the transaction. Interested buyers should verify fixtures, fittings and services independently.
