This substantial five-double-bedroom detached house sits on a decent plot in the sought-after Birds area of Luton. The main house offers two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, master bedroom with en suite and office area, plus two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom — plenty of space for a large family.
Crucially the property includes two self-contained units: a ground-floor one-bedroom annex with its own entrance and a first-floor one-bedroom flat accessed from the landing. Those independent units create flexible living for extended family or reliable rental income, and the off-street parking and landscaped rear garden add everyday practicality.
Location is convenient for families: good local primary and secondary schools, bus routes, quick access to the M1, the L&D Hospital and Thameslink services into London. The house is freehold with moderate council tax and low local crime rates.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as inner-city with higher deprivation levels than surrounding suburbs. The property has clear HMO/rental potential but may require appropriate licensing or planning consents before change of use. Cosmetic updating and checks (services and tenancy compliance) are recommended to maximise value and rental returns.
