Bright, well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette ideal for first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home in St Albans. The property benefits from its own private entrance, a flexible open-plan living and kitchen area with ample storage, and a south-east facing private garden that catches morning sun. Proximity to the mainline station, The Abbey and local amenities makes daily commuting and weekend leisure straightforward.
Accommodation is compact (approximately 550 sq ft) but efficiently arranged: two double bedrooms (one with excellent fitted storage), a single bathroom with a rear window, and contemporary double glazing. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and is in tidy, move-in condition, making it suitable for buyers who want minimal immediate works.
Practical points are clear and favourable: this is a leasehold property with an exceptionally long lease (935 years), modest ground rent (£12) and a below-average service charge (£650). Broadband is average and heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators. The neighbourhood is very affluent with low crime and excellent mobile signal — plus several highly rated schools nearby — making this a sensible long-term choice.
Buyers should note the small overall size and single bathroom, which may feel tight for some households. While presented well, the layout and size limit substantial extension potential; any major changes would require planning and communal agreement. Overall, the maisonette offers a compact, well-located home with genuine commuting and lifestyle convenience.
