Summary - 38 HARVEST COURT ST ALBANS AL4 9QY
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Immaculate two-bedroom home near shops and transport for comfortable retirement living.
Private entrance with foldaway stairlift to first floor
Comfortable, well-presented first-floor maisonette designed for over-55s, set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Jersey Farm, St Albans. A private entrance and foldaway stairlift provide independent access, while the light lounge, fitted kitchen and two bedrooms offer practical, low-maintenance living. Communal gardens and close local shops add convenience and a gentle community atmosphere.
The interior is tidy and move-in ready: a modern fitted kitchen with integrated NEFF appliances, an easy-access shower bathroom, built-in bedroom wardrobes and useful storage on the landing. Electric storage heaters and double glazing keep the layout simple; excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support staying connected.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement property with 88 years remaining, and an average service charge of around £3,900 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters (no gas) which can be more expensive than gas central heating. The maisonette is traditional in layout and age (constructed 1967–75), so buyers wanting contemporary mechanicals should budget for future upgrades.
Overall, this property suits someone over 55 seeking straightforward, low-upkeep accommodation close to local amenities and transport links. It offers a comfortable retirement base with communal outdoor space, but it is important to factor in ongoing service charges, lease length and electric heating costs when budgeting.
