A characterful two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in the gated Grove Mill conservation area, offered chain free with a very long lease. Recently refurbished, the flat blends warehouse character—exposed brickwork, wooden beams and tall arched windows—with a contemporary finish and integrated kitchen. High ceilings and bespoke window seats amplify the light and canal outlook, making the living space feel larger than the floor area suggests.
Practical highlights include an allocated garage (double-height stable garage), visitor parking, communal landscaped gardens and excellent nearby transport links: Watford Junction for fast trains to London, plus easy access to the M1 and M25. Local schools are highly rated, including two Outstanding state schools nearby, which adds family-friendly appeal.
Be candidly aware of two material considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, so flood insurance and mitigation are necessary; and the building is a solid-brick, pre-1900 construction where insulation may be limited, potentially affecting heating costs despite gas central heating. The apartment is small overall (approx. 560 sq ft), so it suits buyers prioritising location, character and low-maintenance living over large internal space.
This home suits first-time buyers or city commuters who want a stylish, move-in-ready flat with character, secure parking and canal-side views—provided they take the flood-risk into account and accept compact living.
