A recently refurbished two-bedroom Victorian cottage in the heart of Markyate, a short walk from the High Street. The ground floor features a redecorated living area with new wood block flooring and a stylish newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances — ready to use with minimal immediate work.
Upstairs provides two well-presented bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, and good mobile signal; broadband speeds are average. The small, fully fenced rear garden is hard-landscaped for low maintenance and privacy.
This compact home will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a characterful, low-upkeep base close to local amenities and transport links (M1, M25, Luton Airport and nearby rail connections). Note the overall internal floor area is modest (approx. 556 sq ft) and the building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation — further insulation work may be beneficial and could be required for long-term energy savings.
Council tax is described as affordable and the area has low crime and very affluent surroundings. While newly refreshed throughout, the small plot and compact room sizes reflect the cottage’s traditional mid-terrace form rather than a larger family home.
