This freehold, chain-free Victorian terrace on Crawley Road offers clear investor and conversion appeal. Previously licensed as an HMO, the house already contains three bathrooms and a flexible layout that can be arranged as three to five bedrooms. Lapsed planning permission exists for two further loft rooms, giving realistic scope for additional accommodation subject to reapplication.
The property benefits from good natural light, standard-to-high ceilings in parts, and a rear garden for outdoor use. Practical positives include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, proximity to Luton town centre, local amenities, schools and public transport — useful for sharers, commuters or renters.
Buyers should be clear about the property's condition and neighbourhood context. The house is described as a fixer-upper with period features amid dated fittings; maintenance and refurbishment will be required. The plot and garden are small, and there is a very high local crime level and high area deprivation, which can affect rental values and resale prospects. Planning for loft works has lapsed — you'll need to reapply to pursue those additional rooms.
This home suits investors, landlords or buyers looking for a renovation project with HMO potential, and families who need space and are comfortable investing in upgrades. Its chain-free status and previous HMO licence history give flexibility, but factor in refurbishment costs and local area considerations when deciding to view.
