Chain-free two-bedroom apartment close to St Albans station and shops.
First-floor Victorian corner apartment with characterful high ceilings
Set on the first floor of a striking Victorian corner building, this two-bedroom apartment offers a lively city-centre base with easy access to St Albans station and local shops. High ceilings and period character give the main living space real presence, while a modern open-plan kitchen creates a practical hub for everyday life.
Well-proportioned double bedrooms and an average-sized overall footprint (approx. 808 sq ft) suit a first-time buyer looking for character and convenience. The property is chain-free and comes with an unusually long lease (982 years), simplifying purchase and future mortgage considerations.
Practical points to note: heating is electric via a boiler and radiators, there is a single family bathroom, and the building sits in an area with a higher crime statistic than average. These factors, together with the city-centre location, should be weighed against the convenience of shops, schools and fast rail links nearby.
Overall, this apartment will suit someone seeking central St Albans living with period charm and immediate move-in potential. It offers scope to personalise the interior and make the most of the high ceilings and open-plan layout, while benefitting from excellent transport and local amenities.
