Chain-free 2-bed with gated parking, moments from St Albans station.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor apartment
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, built in 2018, offers modern, low-maintenance living just a short walk from St Albans City (Thameslink). The open-plan living area, premium fitted kitchen with Siemens appliances and bi-fold doors open onto a private terrace, extending the living space for casual dining or relaxing.
Practical benefits include a designated gated parking bay, a long lease (994 years) and chain-free purchase — attractive for first-time buyers wanting a straightforward move-in and for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential. At around 764 sq ft, the layout balances comfortable rooms with efficient circulation.
Buyers should note the cost of occupation: an annual service charge of £1,026 and a ground rent of £225. The property sits in an urban, inner-city area with very high recorded crime levels; prospective buyers should factor local safety and security measures into their decision.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking commuter convenience, modern specification and low upkeep. It’s especially appealing to first-time buyers or investors who prioritise quick access to central St Albans and fast rail links to London, while accepting town-centre activity and associated safety considerations.
