Summary - 181 HIGH STREET LUTON LU4 9LE
2 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Single-storey home with garden, garage and scope to add value.
Chain-free freehold bungalow, ready for immediate occupation
Two double bedrooms with double glazing and laminate flooring
Conservatory provides extra light and garden access
Large rear garden; side drive to detached garage
Spacious driveway with lawned front garden
Potential to extend (STPP) — scope to increase value
Requires modernisation throughout; dated kitchen and bathroom
Located near Leagrave station and hospitals; area shows higher deprivation
This two-bedroom, single-storey bungalow on High Street, Leagrave, offers straightforward, chain-free ownership and immediate practical benefits: large driveway, garage and a generous rear garden. The layout is traditional and bright, with a lounge opening into a conservatory that brings extra light and direct garden access. The property is freehold and sits at about 817 sq ft — a size that will suit downsizers or investors seeking rental income.
The house has genuine potential to extend (STPP) and to modernise throughout; the kitchen and bathroom are serviceable but dated, so buyers should expect refurbishment work to personalise and update fixtures and finishes. The building is mid-20th century brick construction with standard ceiling heights and medium-sized rooms — good bones but scope for improvement to add value.
Location is a key selling point: the bungalow is within walking distance of Leagrave station and local hospitals, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There are highly rated primary and secondary schools nearby, making this practical for families. Note the wider area profile shows social-renting young families and higher deprivation indicators — sensible buyers should consider this when assessing long-term resale or rental expectations.
Overall, the property suits a buyer wanting a manageable, single-storey home they can update, an investor seeking a rentable asset close to transport links, or a downsizer wanting easy access to local amenities. Important negatives are the need for modernisation and local area challenges; these are reflected in the attractive price and the opportunity to add value through improvement or extension.
