Summary - 161, CHESTER AVENUE LU4 9SH
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free 1930s semi with garden, parking and school catchment — needs renovation.
Three bedrooms in traditional layout, separate living and dining rooms
A 1930s three-bedroom semi-detached home in a sought-after Luton street, offered chain-free and ready for refurbishment. The house is freehold, set on a small plot with off-street parking and a sizable rear garden that is currently overgrown but offers scope for landscaping or extension (subject to consents).
The property is compact (approximately 743 sq ft) and laid out traditionally with separate living and dining rooms, a kitchen and a single family bathroom. It will suit a growing family, first-time buyers willing to renovate, or investors seeking a value-add opportunity in a Challney school catchment area.
Key practical points: the home was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), gas boiler and radiators, and double glazing installed before 2002. Renovation is required—expect updates to insulation, kitchens, bathrooms and general modernisation. The neighbourhood provides good local amenities and excellent road links, with Junction 11 of the M1 nearby.
Be transparent: this is a fixer-upper in an area with higher deprivation indicators. While crime levels are average and there is no flooding risk, the house will need a programme of works to reach modern standards and maximise value. The property’s strengths are its school catchment, chain-free status, off-street parking and garden potential.
