Condor Drive, Leighton Buzzard LU7

Why buy this home?

Agents note - The property is currently leasehold. The owners are in the process of purchasing the freehold. Once this purchase has been completed, the property will become freehold.

If you are looking to take your first step onto the property ladder, or perhaps you're looking to downsize to something a little more manageable, then this two-bedroom home on Condor Drive, available with no upper chain, is certainly worth a look. With two double bedrooms, a nice sized living room, a kitchen/diner overlooking the garden, a downstairs WC and off-road parking for one car, there is plenty to like about this home.

Stepping inside, you are greeted by an entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor and the added benefit of a downstairs WC, saving those trips upstairs when you have guests visiting.

The living room is a really good size and offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to arranging your furniture. As demonstrated by its current layout, there is more than enough room for a large corner sofa, additional storage and even a piano, without the room feeling overcrowded. Whether you're relaxing in front of the television after a long day or spending time with friends, it's a comfortable space that should work well for everyday living.

Moving through to the rear of the house, you'll find the kitchen/diner, which makes excellent use of the available space. The kitchen has a range of white wall and base units with contrasting work surfaces, an integrated oven, gas hob and extractor hood, alongside space for your additional appliances. What I particularly like about this room is that you can comfortably accommodate a dining table without sacrificing the kitchen space. There are also French doors opening directly onto the garden, which is a lovely feature during the warmer months when you want to enjoy eating outside.

The rear garden is fully enclosed and offers a combination of lawn, paving and a raised decking area at the far end. There is space for children to play, while the decking provides somewhere to position your outdoor furniture and enjoy a barbecue during the summer. There is also a useful timber shed for storing garden equipment, bikes and those items you'd rather keep out of the house. It's a manageable garden that gives you somewhere to enjoy the outdoors without spending every weekend maintaining it.

Upstairs, the house has two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. One of the biggest advantages of this home is that neither bedroom feels like a compromise, which isn't always the case with two-bedroom properties.

The main bedroom is positioned at the rear of the house and offers plenty of room for a double bed alongside your bedroom furniture. The second bedroom, overlooking the front, is another good size and currently accommodates a double bed as well as a desk. This makes it a particularly versatile room, whether you need a second bedroom, somewhere for guests to stay or a dedicated space to work from home.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, which has a bath with a shower over, a wash basin and WC, with tiled walls around the bathing area.
