This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits within a well-regarded over‑55 assisted living development in the heart of Hertford, just a short walk from town centre shops and transport links. The flat offers practical, comfortable accommodation with a living room that opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens — a quiet spot for morning coffee or watching the seasons change.
The accommodation includes a larger-than-average fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes) and a modern shower room. Residents benefit from a communal lounge, allocated and visitor parking, double glazing and electric storage heating. The property is offered chain free, which can simplify and speed up a purchase for a downsizer.
There are important factors to note: the lease has 60 years remaining, which may make mortgage lending difficult or impossible for some buyers and will increase the chance of additional lease-related costs. The property is Grade II listed, so external and some internal works may require listed‑building consent. Service charges are high (£5,880 pa), and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow.
This apartment will suit an over‑55 buyer seeking a town‑centre location with communal facilities and outdoor space, who is comfortable with electric heating and the responsibilities of leasehold, and who understands the implications of the limited lease term and listed status.
