Summary - 20 LEA WALK HARPENDEN AL5 4NG
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
First-floor maisonette by the River Lea — full modernisation required, long lease, garage.
Two bedrooms with lounge/diner and bathroom
A bright first-floor maisonette overlooking the River Lea, offered at an attractive price for a property that needs complete modernisation. The layout includes two bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and access to communal gardens plus a garage — a compact 599 sq ft home with clear scope to add value through renovation.
This leasehold home sits in a peaceful backwater about a mile from Harpenden town centre and the mainline station, with local shops, pubs and excellent schools nearby. Practical benefits include double glazing, mains gas central heating and parking in a garage block. The lease is long (over 130 years remaining) and the listing states no service charge or ground rent, keeping running costs straightforward.
Important negatives are honest and material: the property requires complete modernisation throughout, the overall size is small, and there is a medium flood risk which may affect insurance and future works. Council Tax Band C (approx. £1,981.82 for 24/25) applies. This is best suited to buyers looking to renovate — first-time buyers seeking a budget entry into Harpenden, or investors wanting a refurbishment project in a very affluent area.
With clear renovation potential and a coveted riverside setting, the maisonette is a rare, low-cost route into Harpenden. Buyers should factor in modernisation costs and flood-risk insurance when assessing value.
