Compact two-bed terrace with garage, garden and good transport links — ideal first purchase.
Two bedrooms in a compact, easy-to-manage layout
A tidy two-bedroom mid-terrace arranged over two floors, this property suits a first-time buyer seeking a manageable starter home with useful parking and outdoor space. The ground floor has a large lounge and a kitchen/diner giving simple flow for everyday living; upstairs are two bedrooms and a shower room. A private rear garden and a garage plus block-paved hardstand provide vehicle space and storage rarely found on this price band.
Practical running costs are supported by an EPC C rating and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The house was built in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls; current walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so further insulating work could reduce bills and improve comfort. The overall size is average (about 621 sq ft) — compact, easy to maintain but with limited internal space.
Location is convenient for local amenities, schools and bus links in Houghton Regis/Dunstable, and mobile and broadband signals are strong. Be aware the area records higher-than-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should factor security and insurance into plans. The freehold tenure and included garage add practical value, while the small plot means outside space is private but modest.
This house will appeal to first-time buyers who prioritise low-maintenance living, parking and a private garden, and who are comfortable putting a bit of cosmetic or insulation work in to personalise and improve energy performance. The property is straightforward to move into with clear potential to add value through targeted upgrades.
