Summary - Cannon Lane, Luton LU2 8DA
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact, secure living with onsite support and low external maintenance.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with private paved patio
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in the Putteridge area, suited to someone looking to downsize into a secure, low-maintenance home. The open-plan lounge/diner opens onto a private paved patio garden, giving outdoor space without the burden of full garden upkeep. The development includes an on-site House Manager (Mon–Fri), communal lounge and laundry, CCTV and a 24-hour emergency call system for peace of mind.
The flat is compact (approximately 406 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout with a fitted kitchen, shower room and built-in bedroom wardrobes. The service charge covers communal maintenance, external repairs, water rates and buildings insurance, reducing unexpected running costs — though buyers should expect an ongoing service charge and possible additional leasehold administration fees.
Practical considerations: heating is electric (room heaters/electric storage heater) which can be more costly than gas; the property is leasehold with around 111 years remaining. The apartment was built 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing and modern construction, but the interior is small and would benefit from decluttering or light redecoration to make the most of the space.
This is a sensible choice for a retiree seeking independence with on-site support and reduced maintenance responsibilities. Investors should note the retirement designation and service charge structure may affect lettability; first-time buyers are unlikely to be eligible due to the age restriction.
