This well-presented ground-floor maisonette offers a smart, open-plan living layout ideal for a first-time buyer seeking easy access to St Albans city centre and the mainline station. The property benefits from its own private entrance and a bright reception room that flows into a contemporary kitchen with ample storage and space for appliances.
Both bedrooms accommodate double beds and the larger room includes excellent fitted storage. A glazed door from the kitchen opens to a private south-east facing garden with lawn, seating area and mature shrubs — a rare outdoor space for a ground-floor home in this area. The property occupies an end-terrace building constructed in the late 20th century, with double glazing and gas central heating throughout.
Practical ownership costs include a long lease (935 years), a below-average service charge (£650) and a small ground rent (£12). Note the overall internal size is compact (approximately 550 sq ft), so storage planning is important. Council tax is affordable and there is no flooding risk.
Situated on a quiet private road close to St Michael’s Village, Verulamium Park and a selection of highly regarded schools, this maisonette suits buyers wanting a manageable, low-maintenance home with excellent local amenities and transport links. It offers a comfortable, well-located base with scope to personalise finishes over time.
