Description

This detached three-bedroom house is located on the southern edge of Luton, close to Stockwood Park, and presents a promising opportunity for renovation or expansion. Set back from the road on an expansive plot of approximately 0.17 acres, the property benefits from an elevated position that not only enhances its appeal but also offers potential for further development, pending planning approvals. Inside, the home greets you with a spacious entrance hall that leads to a guest cloakroom. The sitting room features a bay window and a traditional fireplace, creating a warm ambiance. Adjacent to this space is a dining room with French doors that open onto the garden, complemented by another fireplace adorned with tiled inserts and polished wooden flooring. The kitchen adopts a semi-open plan layout, fitted with modern cabinetry and wooden work surfaces, alongside essential appliances including an electric oven and hob as well as refrigerator and freezer units. The first floor accommodates the main bedroom with its own bay window along with two additional bedrooms—a double and a generously sized single—each sharing access to a contemporary family bathroom. The rear garden extends approximately 126 feet, providing ample outdoor space for potential landscaping or further outdoor enhancements. With a decked area positioned to capture afternoon and evening sunlight, it serves as an ideal spot for relaxation or entertaining. A detached garage and additional parking are accessible from Whitehill Avenue at the back of the property. Luton's strategic location further enhances this property's investment appeal; it's just 1.3 miles from Luton town centre and conveniently situated near Luton Parkway Station (approximately 2.2 miles away), which offers swift services to London St Pancras in around 20 minutes. Those commuting have easy road access via the M1 junction 9 (1.1 miles), positioning it perfectly for both travel to London and beyond.

For families, there are several primary schools within walking distance, alongside secondary education options such as The Stockwood Park Academy nearby.
