A chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor apartment in the heart of Waltham Cross, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking easy commuting. The block is under ten years old and benefits from lift access, video entry and allocated off-street parking, making day-to-day living straightforward. The apartment’s integrated kitchen with granite worktops, rustic wood-strip flooring and high-performance glazing offers a modern, low-maintenance finish. The long lease (990 years) provides secure tenure and low‑risk ownership.
Practical running costs deserve attention: an annual service charge around £2,500 and ground rent about £260 apply, and heating is provided via a community scheme. The flat is small (approx. 379 sq ft) and currently occupied by tenants, so viewings will need to be arranged around their tenancy. Crime in the area is above average, so buyers prioritising security should note the local context despite the apartment’s video entry system.
Transport and local amenities are strong selling points. Both Theobalds Grove and Waltham Cross stations are within walking distance for fast links into London; the A10 and M25 are a short drive away. The high street, Pavilions Shopping Centre and the green spaces of Lee Valley Park are all nearby, adding everyday convenience and outdoor options.
Overall this is a compact, modern apartment offering secure long-lease tenure, practical low-energy features and good transport links. It will suit a commuter, investor or first-time buyer willing to accept modest living space and ongoing service charges in return for location and low immediate maintenance.
