A chain-free, two-bedroom apartment offering practical city living just off Castle Street, ideal for first-time buyers or investors targeting student and commuter demand. The open-plan living area leads to a private balcony, creating a bright social space with easy access to local shops, bus routes and Luton Mainline station.
The home includes two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the main bedroom and a family bathroom. Built in the mid-2000s with double glazing and a long 105-year lease remaining, the property also comes with secure underground parking and lift access — useful extras in a town-centre block.
Be aware of higher running costs: heating is solely electric via room heaters, and the building has an annual service charge of £2,283 plus ground rent of £390. The local area scores as very deprived overall, which may affect resale choices and rental yields; nearby amenities and good transport links partly offset this.
For buyers seeking a straightforward, ready-to-occupy flat close to university, station and shops, this apartment represents a convenient, low-maintenance base with clear letting potential. Those sensitive to service charges, fuel costs or neighbourhood economic indicators should factor these into their decision.
