This well-presented ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a popular modern development within easy walking distance of Watford Met station and Cassiobury Park. The open-plan reception opens to a private balcony, and the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, making the layout practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Residents have the convenience of an allocated parking space, additional visitor bays and access to an on-site gym. The block was built in the mid-2000s and features double glazing and secure entry, while the apartment’s neutral finishes and wood-effect flooring in the reception area make it largely move-in ready.
Notable ongoing costs include a service charge of around £3,300 pa and a ground rent of £250 pa; the property is leasehold (long lease remaining, c.977 years). Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, and there is no private garden — factors to consider for running costs and lifestyle.
At about 493 sq ft, the flat is compact but efficiently arranged and will suit a couple, small family or investor seeking a central Watford location with excellent transport links to London. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the layout and communal facilities first-hand.
