Freshly renovated one-bedroom flat with long lease and resident parking, close to transport links..
Chain-free with 938 years remaining on the lease
A freshly renovated one-bedroom first-floor flat with a very long lease and low running costs. The open-plan living area and integrated kitchen receive plenty of natural light through a large window, and the property is finished with grey hardwood-style flooring for a contemporary feel. At around 499 sq ft, the layout is compact but usefully arranged for single buyers or couples.
Practical benefits include resident off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers. Transport links are strong: Luton Airport Parkway and M1 access are close, making journeys into London and beyond straightforward. Service charges are low at £840 per year and there is no ground rent.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. The surrounding neighbourhood records very high crime levels, which may affect suitability for some buyers or investors. The flat sits in a 1960s purpose-built block, so communal fabric and external maintenance should be checked if longevity is a priority.
Overall, this chain-free leasehold flat suits first-time buyers, commuters and investors seeking a move-in-ready property with low service costs and excellent transport connections — provided you accept electric heating and urban location trade-offs.
