Summary - Faraday House, Old Electricity Works, Campfield Road, St Albans, AL1 AL1 5GH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
High-spec new home with private terrace and concierge near the station.
Large one-bedroom apartment — 686 sq ft, terrace and allocated parking
A spacious one-bedroom apartment of 686 sq ft in the modern Old Electricity Works development, finished to a high specification and built in 2021. The apartment includes a private terrace and allocated off-street parking, plus on-site concierge and communal landscaped gardens that enhance everyday convenience and appeal.
Internally the home benefits from a designer handleless kitchen with quartz worktops, fully tiled bathroom, fitted wardrobes and large floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the open-plan living area with light. The 999-year lease removes immediate lease-length concerns typical of new-build leasehold homes.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: heating is electric room heaters which can raise running costs, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and there is an average service charge of £1,698 per year. The property is leasehold and while the long lease is favourable, communal service costs and utilities should be factored into monthly budgets.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, well-located new-build with good rail links to London (around a 12-minute walk to St Albans City station). The combination of private outdoor space, allocated parking and concierge adds daily convenience, while the high specification reduces immediate refurbishment spend.
