Compact modern one-bedroom, walking distance to stations and town centre.
Chain free first-floor flat with long 990-year lease
This bright first-floor, one-bedroom flat offers straightforward city living in a secure gated development near Watford town centre. The open-plan reception and modern fitted kitchen create a compact, easy-to-manage home ideal for a first-time buyer or commuter. High ceilings and large windows help the 453 sq ft accommodation feel airy despite its modest footprint.
Residents benefit from communal gardens and bike storage, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home-working and staying connected. The property is chain free with a very long lease (990 years), making the tenure simple to understand and attractive to buyers seeking minimal conveyancing delays.
Be aware this is a leasehold flat with a service charge of around £1,200 per year and an average ground rent of £350; additional leasehold administration fees may apply. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal or gas central system, which can mean higher running costs. The area records higher crime levels, so buyers should consider security measures and local policing when viewing.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance city flat in a convenient location for Watford High Street, Watford Junction and local hospitals — a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer seeking good transport links and long-term tenure security.
