Summary - 48 SHAFTESBURY ROAD WATFORD WD17 2RQ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Refurbished terraced home minutes from Watford Junction — ideal starter or investment.
Freshly renovated interior with modern kitchen and contemporary bathroom
A compact Victorian terraced cottage freshly refurbished with a blend of period detail and contemporary finishes. The ground floor offers two reception rooms that suit flexible living or a home office, while the modern fitted kitchen connects to a low-maintenance rear garden — a practical layout for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, each retaining original fireplaces, and a contemporary bathroom. The property is presented to a high standard and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband — convenient for commuting and modern daily life. Council Tax Band C keeps running costs modest.
Location is a principal value-driver: a short walk to Watford town centre and Watford Junction with direct trains to London Euston (around 15 minutes). Local shops, parks and a range of schools (including high-performing secondaries) are close by, making the area practical for working professionals or small families.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house is mid-terrace with a small plot and on-street permit parking only. Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation, it may need targeted improvement works (insulation upgrades). There is a medium flood risk recorded for the area — check detailed flood maps and insurance cost implications before offer.
