This chain-free top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Letchworth Garden City offers an affordable entry into the local market or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The flat is bright, well-presented and arranged efficiently with a living room, double bedroom, compact kitchen and internal storage — suitable for a single occupant or couple.
The building sits around a substantial communal lawn with mature trees, providing an attractive outlook and pleasant natural light. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£400/year and £107/year respectively) and the property benefits from a cheap Council Tax (Band B), helping to keep running costs low.
Notable points to consider: the property is electrically heated with electric ceiling heaters and the EPC is rated E. The block dates from the mid‑20th century and external walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect energy efficiency and running costs. The lease has 106 years remaining.
Overall, this compact apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance home or an investor looking for a lettable city-centre studio alternative. It’s straightforward to view and evaluate, with clear scope for modest cosmetic improvement or rental use.
