This bay-fronted Victorian terrace offers three floors of period character and practical living space in central Dunstable. The property provides five bedrooms across cleverly reconfigured floors, a separate dining room and a bay-fronted living room that benefits from high ceilings and natural light. Its compact footprint and small rear garden make it suited to buyers who prioritise location and bedroom count over generous outdoor space.
The original loft has been converted to create two additional bedrooms and offers scope to be reworked into one larger principal suite with an en suite, subject to planning and building regulations. The kitchen is a galley layout with direct access to the ground-floor bathroom; the first floor includes a fitted shower room. The house retains many Victorian features but some elements appear dated and may need updating.
Practical considerations: the home has a current EPC rating of D and is on solid brick walls with no known insulation upgrade, so energy-efficiency improvements could be needed. Parking is on-street with gated access from the rear to Falcon Close. The property sits in a busy, deprived area with higher-than-average crime levels, though it is centrally located close to shops, bus links and local schools, which will appeal to buyers valuing convenience.
This house will suit a family needing multiple bedrooms who want a centrally located period home and are prepared to invest in updating and energy improvements. It also offers short-term rental potential for investors comfortable with the local market and neighbourhood challenges.
