Summary - Flat 4, 8a, Dudley Street LU7 1SE
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Move-in ready ground-floor maisonette with parking, near town centre..
Refitted kitchen and modern bathroom, newly renovated
Set a short walk from Leighton Buzzard town centre, this ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers a recently refreshed, move-in ready home or rental opportunity. The current owner has renovated the property with a refitted kitchen and bathroom and installed a new boiler in March 2021, so basic systems and finishes are in good order. An allocated off-street parking space adds everyday convenience in a central location.
Buyers should note the lease has 58 years remaining; this is materially short and may prevent some mortgage lenders from offering finance without a lease extension. There is a peppercorn ground rent but a service charge of £392pa and the small £100 ground rent are payable. The building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, which may affect future energy-efficiency improvements.
The maisonette is compact (approximately 463 sq ft) with a double bedroom, living room and an open-plan modern kitchen area—suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance accommodation close to transport, shops and local amenities. Be aware the immediate area scores high for crime and is described as deprived; prospective buyers should factor local conditions into location decisions and viewings.
Overall this is an attractively presented period conversion that delivers practical, contemporary living in a convenient town-centre position, but it carries lease and neighbourhood considerations that will affect finance and long-term value. Practical next steps: confirm lender acceptability for the lease length and obtain solicitor advice on lease-extension options and any additional fees.
