Bright two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with allocated garage and off-street parking, positioned within easy walking distance of Luton mainline station and Wardown Park. The long lease (circa 940 years) and compact 532 sq ft layout make the flat an accessible purchase for first-time buyers or a straightforward rental for investors.
The accommodation is presented in good condition with double glazing fitted and a separate kitchen and lounge. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so the flat will suit buyers seeking a well-located, low-upkeep home or a buy-to-let with immediate letting potential.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property is in a very high crime area and sits in a high flood-risk zone, and the neighbourhood shows high deprivation indicators. The service charge averages around £1,600pa and the property is leasehold, so purchasers should factor these running costs into affordability calculations.
Overall, this ground-floor apartment offers practical transport links, outdoor green space nearby and low council tax, balanced against area safety and flood risk considerations. It will suit buyers prioritising location and convenience over size and who are prepared to accept the local environment or manage rental demand accordingly.
