Set on the first floor of a modern purpose-built block in the heart of Leighton Buzzard, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers an efficient, well-presented layout and straightforward town-centre living. The bright open-plan lounge/diner with Juliet balcony and a practical separate kitchen suits buyers seeking low-maintenance urban accommodation or a steady rental prospect. The generous master bedroom includes built-in storage and an ensuite; the second bedroom will also work well as a home office or guest room.
Practicalities are clear: allocated off-street parking, lift access, double glazing and electric radiator heating mean day-to-day living is convenient. The flat sits within easy walking distance of shops, cafes and the mainline station with fast trains to London, which strengthens commuter and lettings appeal. The communal block is modern and appears well maintained.
Notable costs and constraints are factual: the property is leasehold with 97 years remaining, an average service charge around £2,798 pa and a small ground rent of £138 pa. Heating is electric (boiler and radiators), likely increasing running costs compared with gas. There is no private garden — communal grounds are small — and the local area records a very high crime statistic and higher levels of deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer wanting central convenience and a ready-to-move-in home, or an investor seeking a town-centre rental. Viewings are recommended to assess internal space and the block’s communal environment in person.
