Summary - 78 BULLHEAD ROAD BOREHAMWOOD WD6 1HT
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Large westerly garden, near top local schools — needs cosmetic updating.
Chain free with long lease of approx. 131 years
Set on the south side of Borehamwood, this ground-floor garden maisonette offers more than 700 sq ft of flexible living space — ideal for a young family or first-time buyer. The reception room and principal rooms open onto a large westerly rear garden, delivering afternoon sun and practical outdoor space for children and gardening. Chain-free sale and a long lease (about 131 years) simplify moving and mortgage arrangements.
Accommodation is traditional in layout with two clearly configured bedrooms and a possible third/box room, a galley-style kitchen and a single bathroom. The flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a brick-built post-war construction; room proportions are comfortable rather than grand, suited to everyday family life. Nearby schools (including Monksmead and high-performing Yavneh College) and local amenities are within walking distance, making school runs and local travel straightforward.
Practical considerations: the property shows signs of age and will suit buyers willing to update finishes — cosmetic refurbishment likely required to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and internal decoration. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and appears to have cavity walls with no added insulation (energy improvements could be beneficial). Local crime levels are above average, which should be considered by buyers.
Financially the flat is leasehold with a modest ground rent (£50) and an affordable council tax band. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong locally. This is a realistic family starter or buy-to-let prospect for an investor prepared to refresh the interior and improve energy performance.
