Plot 22, a one-bedroom third-floor apartment at Old Electricity Works, offers 566 sq ft of bright, contemporary living with a private balcony. The home is finished to a high specification — quartz worktops, fully tiled bathroom, fitted wardrobes and integrated appliances — so you can move in without immediate works. Residents benefit from concierge, landscaped communal gardens, gated parking and easy walking access to St Albans City station (about 12 minutes).
This is a sensible choice for a first‑time buyer or buyer seeking a well‑connected city base: St Albans town centre, shops and restaurants are within easy reach and trains to central London take under 30 minutes. The apartment’s layout and large windows maximise light and feel, while communal amenity provision adds convenience and a degree of privacy.
Practical points to consider: the property is leasehold (999 years) with an average service charge of £1,409, and broadband is reported as very slow — important if you work from home. Although the specification is new and low‑maintenance, buyers should check ongoing service costs and parking arrangements. Viewing the show home by appointment is recommended to confirm finish and internal space.
Overall this is a modern, low‑upkeep one‑bed in a well‑placed development, offering strong transport links and resident facilities, balanced against service charges and limited broadband speeds.
