Chain-free, warden-assisted ground-floor flat with private patio and parking.
Ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with private patio
A well-presented ground-floor retirement apartment designed for independent over-55s seeking convenience and low-maintenance living. The lounge opens via French doors onto a private patio and overlooks well-kept communal gardens, providing a calm outdoor space without the gardening workload. The property has two good-sized bedrooms, gas central heating, double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space.
This block benefits from on-site warden support, an out-of-hours emergency call system and a resident’s communal lounge — practical safety and social amenities that appeal to downsizers who want reassurance and community. The apartment is offered chain-free and includes a virtual tour for initial viewing.
Important practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with approximately 61 years remaining. Some lenders restrict mortgages below certain lease lengths, so buyers should check mortgage availability early. Additional leasehold costs (management/service charges, lease packs) may apply and should be factored into affordability. The overall internal size is modest, suited to two-person occupancy rather than larger households.
In short, this is a convenient, ready-to-live-in retirement flat close to St Albans city centre, offering private outdoor space, parking and warden assistance — a sensible option for those prioritising location, safety and low upkeep, provided they confirm mortgage eligibility against the remaining lease term.
