The Shires, Old Bedford Road, Luton

Nestled just off the ever-popular Old Bedford Road in Luton, this chain-free two-double-bedroom apartment presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking space, potential, and a prime location. Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or someone looking to create a bespoke home, this property offers the ideal foundation.

The apartment’s layout is both practical and generous. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, each capable of accommodating full bedroom suites with room to spare. The reception room is equally spacious, offering ample scope for both lounging and dining. With natural light filtering through, this central living space is poised to become a bright and welcoming hub once modernised. The bathroom, while currently dated, is functional and offers the potential to be reimagined into a sleek, contemporary space.

While the property does require updating throughout, this is precisely what makes it so appealing. It offers a blank canvas for the discerning buyer to add value and tailor the interiors to their own taste and lifestyle. From new flooring and redecoration to modern fixtures and fittings, the scope for transformation is significant

The location further enhances the appeal. Situated within easy reach of Luton Train Station, the property is ideal for commuters needing swift access to London and beyond. The M1 motorway is also close by, ensuring excellent road connectivity. Local amenities are plentiful, and the nearby Wardown Park provides a welcome green escape, with its boating lake, museum, and open spaces perfect for leisure and relaxation.

Offered with a share of freehold and realistic pricing that reflects the need for modernisation, this apartment represents excellent value in one of Luton’s most desirable areas. With reasonable annual charges (details tbc) and no onward chain, it’s a rare opportunity not to be missed. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer
