3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot with extension potential; ideal for families or investors prepared to improve..
Chain free with immediate possession possible
Set back from London Road and backing onto Stockwood Park, this 1930s detached house sits on a large, westerly plot of about 0.17 acres with a long rear garden and detached garage. The existing layout offers a bay-fronted sitting room, dining room with French doors, semi-open kitchen and three bedrooms served by a modern family bathroom — comfortable now, with clear scope to extend subject to planning consent.
This property will suit families seeking outdoor space and scope to add value, or investors looking for a refurbishment opportunity close to good transport links. Practical positives include private parking, a garage with rear access, double glazing and mains gas central heating. It is offered chain free, making a quicker move possible.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property lies in a high-crime, very deprived area and has an EPC rating of D. Council tax is above average. Any extension or significant structural changes will require planning permission; photos supplied are over six months old. The house is average-sized internally and will need updating in parts to fully realise its potential.
Nearby amenities and schools are convenient — Stockwood Park is close, primary schools (including an Outstanding-rated option) are within walking distance, and Luton Parkway and the M1 are a short drive away, making central London and the airports accessible for commuters and travellers.
