Compact, commuter-friendly one-bedroom with allocated parking.
Chain free top-floor apartment with open-plan living
This chain-free top-floor apartment offers a modern open-plan living space and allocated off-street parking, a rare convenience for town-centre flats. The compact layout suits a single buyer or couple, and the bright interior benefits from integrated appliances and wood flooring. Transport links are strong — Letchworth station and town centre are a 15-minute walk, with trains to London King’s Cross in just over 30 minutes.
The lease has approximately 108–110 years remaining; ground rent is £224 and the service charge is £746 (building insurance about £180). These fixed costs are modest for the area but important to factor into buy-to-let yields or first-time buyer affordability. EPC rating C and council tax band B keep running costs reasonable.
The apartment’s size is small (c.324 sq ft) and best suited to single occupancy, a couple or an investor seeking a lettable city-edge flat. The building and communal grounds are well kept, but local crime levels are above average — buyers should consider security and insurance implications. Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance entry-level purchase with good rental and commuter potential.
