The town adjoins the A507 which links the town with the M1 Motorway (J13) and the A1(M) (J10).

The property comprises a two storey double fronted retail unit constructed of brick under a pitched slate roof. The first floor comprises a two-bedroom self- contained flat having the benefit of a separate access from Dunstable Road via the gate to the side of the property which leads to an attractive courtyard and the single-storey storage building to the rear of the property.

The property is located in a conservation area and is listed Grade II.

The entire property is let to Indigo Residential Ltd under the terms of a full repairing & insuring lease dated 8th February 2023 demising the property for a term of 10 years from 27th September 2022 at a current rent of £30,000 per annum. The landlord holds a rent deposit of £7,300.
