Chain-free one-bedroom maisonette minutes from Luton station — ideal first-time buy.
Chain free with a new 125-year lease to be issued
This split-level one-bedroom maisonette offers a bright, characterful home in central Luton, a short walk from the town centre and mainline station. The living room benefits from a high bay window and period features that bring light and charm to the main floor. Chain free and with a new 125-year lease to be issued, the property is straightforward to buy and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a city-centre location.
At about 560 sq ft, the layout feels roomy for a one-bedroom property and the large loft presents a clear opportunity for conversion (subject to planning permission) to create extra living space or a home office. Heating is gas-fed radiators from a boiler, and the windows were upgraded to double glazing after 2002 — practical improvements already in place.
There are notable practical issues to consider: the building is of solid-brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, so additional thermal upgrades may be needed. The property sits in a high-crime area and has no private garden or garage, which may affect long-term family suitability. Buyers should budget for potential refurbishment to modernise services and finishes.
Overall, this maisonette is a sensible stepping-stone for someone prioritising transport links and town-centre convenience, or a project for an investor who can add value through targeted improvements and a possible loft conversion.
