Summary - Albion Street, Dunstable, Bedfordshire LU6 1SB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Wardens, communal facilities and town‑centre convenience — ideal low‑maintenance retirement option.
Upper‑floor two double bedrooms, large lounge/diner with bay window
A bright, upper‑floor retirement apartment in a secure, warden‑controlled development within easy walking distance of Dunstable town centre. The flat offers two double bedrooms, a large lounge/diner with bay window, a separate kitchen and a refitted shower room — practical accommodation for over‑state‑pension buyers wanting low‑maintenance living and communal facilities.
The development includes a resident manager, communal lounges, regular coffee/tea events, a guest room for visitors, communal patio/garden, lift access and resident parking. The flat has built‑in storage, emergency pull cords and security fob access, making it suitable for independent retirees seeking community and support close to shops and bus routes.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with approximately 63 years remaining and an average annual service charge of £3,044.16 (£253.68 pcm). Many mortgage lenders are reluctant to lend on leases of this length; purchasers may need to fund the purchase with cash or seek specialist lending. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the block dates from the 1980s, so ongoing maintenance and running costs should be considered.
Offered with no upper chain, the apartment presents a straightforward move for downsizers who prioritise location and communal support over long lease tenure. A viewing is recommended to assess room sizes, communal facilities and to determine suitability given the lease length and heating type.
