Corner plot with scope to extend (STPP)
Double driveway, single garage and rear parking
Three spacious bedrooms; loft access and airing cupboard
Open-plan family area and kitchen/diner to the rear
EPC D; partial cavity wall insulation; upgrade likely needed
Single bathroom plus separate WC — practical but limited
High local crime and very deprived area — factor in resale/rental
Fitted internal airflow system; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
Set on a corner plot in South Luton, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical family living and clear scope for improvement. The property has a lounge with a traditional fireplace, a kitchen/diner, and an open-plan family area to the rear that opens onto a low-maintenance garden. A single garage, double driveway and additional rear parking add useful off-street capacity. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern home working.
The house is freehold, built c.1976–82, and comes with a fitted internal airflow system and gas central heating (boiler and radiators). The EPC is D. There is potential to extend, particularly attractive because of the corner plot, subject to planning permission (STPP). The layout includes three spacious bedrooms on the first floor, loft access, an airing cupboard and a separate WC in addition to the main bathroom.
Important drawbacks are stated plainly: the property sits in an area of high crime and very high deprivation, and interiors show 1970s–1980s styling that will suit buyers prepared to modernise. The single bathroom plus separate WC may be limiting for larger families. Double glazing is present but installation dates are unknown and the cavity walls appear only partially insulated, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed.
This home will suit a family wanting secure parking, a manageable garden and potential to increase living space, or an investor seeking rental income with refurbishment upside. Buyers should budget for modernization and consider local area factors when assessing long-term suitability.
