It's located about 30 miles (48 km) north of London and is known for its rich history and charming mix of old and new. Historically, it was important for its gravel extraction, but nowadays it has a more residential and commercial character, with a number of parks, good schools, and an active community. The High Street has a variety of shops and businesses, whilst the town is surrounded by picturesque countryside, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. Leighton Buzzard is also well-connected with public transport, making it a popular place to live for people who commute to London, particularly for its direct line to Euston. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416256) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416257) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416268) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416269) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416270) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416271) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416272) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416273) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416274) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416275) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416276) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416278) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416280) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416282) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416284) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416286) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416288) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/159087509/416290) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/159087509/416291) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EE Rating](/listings/photos/159087509/416294) - EE Rating ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
