A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor maisonette with a private rear garden and a waterside outlook. A newly extended lease is completed on sale, and there are no ground rent or service charges — a clear financial plus for a leasehold purchase. The compact living space (approximately 613 sqft) is bright, with double glazing and gas central heating, offering straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The position combines tranquillity and excellent commuter access: the rear garden overlooks a river and there is close access to the M1 and M25. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working. Local schools receive good Ofsted ratings and the neighbourhood profile suits professionals and small families seeking practical links into St Albans and London.
Buyers should note the property is small in overall footprint and will suit those seeking compact, manageable accommodation rather than generous floor plans. The advertised EPC (current score c.59) indicates average thermal efficiency with modest potential improvement. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high; prospective buyers should consider local safety measures and investigations before committing.
Overall this maisonette is a sensible, cost-effective option for first-time purchasers or investors wanting a low-running-cost home with an attractive riverside garden and strong transport links. Cosmetic updating could add value, but no major structural issues are indicated in the information provided.
