Frances Drive is a secluded and highly regarded development within Central Dunstable. The estate was originally Ashton Grammar School until it's redevelopment a few years ago, however Weston Homes ensured the quality was of the highest level. A few of the original buildings are still there, such as The Old School House and The Science Block, along with many more surrounded by communal gardens.

This particular top floor apartment is located within The Science Block and is a spacious property done to a high specification.

The block itself benefits from a secure entry system with stairs leading to all floors and light coming through stained glass windows. The apartment has an L shape living/kitchen area, with the kitchen itself well equipped and is of a sleek and modern design. The original beams are apparent in the living area, with a handy built in storage cupboard here too.

The bedroom is a brilliant size and has plenty of room for wardrobe and desk space, as well as already having a fitted wardrobe. The shower room is accessed via here and is just as immaculate as the kitchen.

The original library in The Old School house was used as the site office when the properties were first being sold, however it's now a communal space meaning you have a brilliant option to work from just a short walk away through the neat and tidy gardens.

In addition to the above, the property comes with an allocated parking space however there are also visitor bays too.

We have been advised by the current owners that there is approximately 118 years remaining on the lease with the ground rent totalling £300 per annum and the service charge is £2556.48 per annum.

Viewings are highly advised to appreciate what is on offer so please call today to arrange yours.

Please note the EPC is C whilst the council tax band is B.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 1, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
