A chain-free, freehold two-bedroom mid-terraced home in LU4, offered as a straightforward first purchase or buy-to-let. The property totals about 700 sq ft, benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, and includes small front and rear gardens. Transport links are convenient with nearby Leagrave station and easy M1 access.
Internally the layout is simple: entrance porch and open-plan lounge/diner, compact kitchen, two upstairs bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. Rooms are average in size for an urban terrace and the property is best described as cosmetically dated; fittings and finishes would benefit from updating to unlock full rental or resale value.
Key positives are the freehold title, chain-free sale, reasonable floor area for a starter home, and proximity to a mix of local amenities and schools (including an outstanding primary and secondary options). Material considerations: the area scores high for crime and very high on local deprivation indices, the plot is small, and the house will suit buyers who accept an urban setting and potential refurbishment works.
Ideal buyers are first-time purchasers seeking a low-entry property to personalise, or investors looking for a simple refurbishment project in a well-connected part of Luton. Budget for cosmetic updating and factor local area considerations into long-term plans.
