A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat positioned in the heart of St Albans, a short, level walk from shops, cafés and transport links. The apartment offers 517 sq ft of practical living with a double bedroom, separate kitchen, modern shower room and a bright lounge with a bay window. Residents benefit from a communal lounge, landscaped gardens with seating, lift access and dedicated off-street parking for low‑maintenance living.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining (original 125-year lease), an EPC rating of E (48) and electric storage heating. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s, with cavity walls likely uninsulated and double glazing of unknown age — upgrading insulation and heating would improve comfort and running costs.
This apartment suits someone over 55 seeking a convenient, central base with communal facilities and parking, or an investor targeting a retirement-let market. The location and layout give good potential after modest cosmetic updating, but buyers should factor in the shortish lease, relatively poor EPC, electric heating and the town-centre crime rating when assessing long-term value.
