This top-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Laburnum Court offers low‑maintenance, over‑60s living a short walk from Leighton Buzzard town centre. The flat is chain-free and sits within a purpose-built complex that includes a house manager, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite and well-kept communal gardens — practical for social living and occasional visitors.
The accommodation is compact but efficiently laid out: entrance hall, lounge/dining room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The property is presented in generally good order and benefits from double glazing, off‑street parking and secure entry with an emergency intercom — sensible features for independent retirees.
Important considerations: the lease has about 65 years remaining and some lenders may refuse a mortgage on that basis. Service charges are relatively high (circa £3,789 pa) and there is a small ground rent (£150 pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas systems.
This apartment will suit a buyer aged 60+ wanting convenience, community facilities and town‑centre access. It is best for purchasers able to accept the lease length and service charge level, or cash buyers/retirement buyers seeking a ready-made, low‑maintenance home close to local amenities and transport links.
