Bright two-bedroom home near station, ready to personalise.
Chain free ground-floor apartment with direct communal garden access
Set within a well-maintained mid-century development on Riverside Road, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers bright, practical living with direct access to the communal garden. The south-facing lounge with patio doors brings generous daylight into the main living space and creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for relaxed weekends or entertaining.
The kitchen is modern and fitted with integrated appliances and useful workspace. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with built-in wardrobes and the bathroom includes a full-size bath with shower over. Residents also benefit from an external brick store for bikes and residents' off-street parking close to the block.
This home suits first-time buyers and commuters: it is chain free and just a ten-minute walk from St Albans mainline station and the city centre’s shops and amenities. Practical points to note are the leasehold tenure (89 years remaining) and the building’s 1967–75 construction with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, which may affect energy efficiency and running costs. The property has double glazing (installation date unknown) and central heating via a mains gas boiler.
Overall, the apartment presents a ready-to-move-in option with scope for low-to-medium cosmetic updates to personalise the space and improve efficiency. Its location, size (approx. 782 sq ft) and straightforward layout make it a sensible purchase for those starting out or seeking a commuter base in St Albans.
