Set within a well-kept modern development in the heart of Luton, this one-bedroom flat offers low-maintenance urban living with strong commuter links. The open-plan living area and well-proportioned bedroom make efficient use of the 506 sq ft layout, suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward entry into the market.
The building is under ten years old and communal areas are maintained to a good standard. The long lease (circa 118 years) and a reasonable annual service charge provide clarity on ongoing costs. Chain-free sale and proximity to Luton Train Station and Luton Airport add practical appeal for commuters and frequent travellers.
Important considerations: the flat sits in an area with high crime statistics and significant deprivation locally, which may influence long-term resale or rental demand. Service charges average £1,260 per year and the property is leasehold. The apartment is an average-sized one-bedroom and may be offered “sold as seen” subject to offer, so purchasers should allow for potential minor repairs or redecoration.
Overall, this Kensington Court flat represents an accessible, well-located option for someone seeking a compact, modern home or a lettable investment. Viewings are recommended for buyers who prioritise transport links and a low-maintenance property, while taking local social and safety factors into account.
