A bay-fronted Victorian mid-terrace offering three bedrooms and a long 29ft lounge/diner in central Dunstable. The layout includes an open-plan kitchen/diner, ground-floor bathroom and a jack-and-jill en-suite arrangement to the principal bedroom, giving flexible family or rental use. The property sits on a small plot with a paved rear garden and patio with pergola — low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for city living.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and easy walking access to town centre shops, leisure facilities and several schools. Excellent commuter links to the A5 and M1 make this suitable for buyers travelling to nearby employment centres. On-street parking and an affordable council tax band help running costs remain manageable.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the house sits in a higher-crime, relatively deprived area and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. Windows were upgraded some time ago and may not match modern efficiency standards. The plot is small, and parking is on-street only. These factors affect energy efficiency and may require investment if you prioritise insulation, security upgrades or off-street parking.
This home will suit first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry close to amenities, small families wanting three bedrooms near schools, or investors seeking a centrally located rental with room to improve. The property is being sold freehold and offers clear scope for cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements to add value.
