Summary - 11 The Shires, Old Bedford Road LU2 7QA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable two-bed close to Luton station—ideal for first-time purchasers.
Chain-free sale with long 170-year lease
A two-bedroom first-floor flat in The Shires offers an affordable entry into LU2, close to Luton mainline station and town centre. Chain-free sale and a long 170-year lease make it straightforward for first-time buyers or investors seeking predictable tenure.
The layout includes a generous lounge, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen and a fully tiled bathroom. Communal rear gardens and off-street parking add practical outdoor and parking space. Service charge is below average, and council tax is described as cheap.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the building dates from the late 1960s–70s and uses electric storage heaters, cavity walls are likely uninsulated, and glazing age is unknown. The area records higher crime levels, so check local safety information and consider security improvements.
This flat suits buyers prioritising location and value over turnkey modern finishes. With some cosmetic updating and efficiency upgrades (insulation, heating), the property could improve comfort and running costs, making it a realistic starter home or rental investment.
