Positioned a short walk from St Albans mainline station and the city centre, the property suits anyone who needs a fast commute to London or convenient access to shops and cafes. Broadband speeds are fast, and the development sits in a low-crime, very affluent area with good local schools nearby, making it attractive for long-term ownership or buy-to-let.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment with an average service charge of £1,800pa and a ground rent of £360pa. The apartment is modest in size (about 503 sq ft) and has no private garden, so it will be best for single occupants or couples rather than families needing outdoor space.
Heating runs from an electric-fired boiler and radiators rather than mains gas; this is typical for modern developments but can affect running costs. Overall, the property offers low-maintenance, modern living in a well-connected location, with scope to personalise the interior to increase comfort or rental appeal.
