This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits on Carlisle Avenue, a five-minute walk from St Albans town centre and around 15 minutes’ walk to St Albans City Station. The bright living room with parquet flooring and large double-glazed windows brings generous natural light, making the layout comfortable for professionals, couples or a small family.
The separate kitchen offers good worktop space and storage with freestanding appliances and a modern combi boiler. The master bedroom is sizable with integrated blinds; the second bedroom includes built-in storage. A tiled family bathroom and a hallway storage cupboard add practical everyday convenience.
Practical benefits include one allocated parking space, a communal garden area and a below-average service charge. The property comes with an 86-year lease, an EPC rating of C and modest ground rent, making it accessible but important to consider for mortgage and resale planning.
Notable negatives are the relatively shortish lease term (86 years remaining) and above-average local crime levels, which may concern some buyers. The building dates from the late 1970s; while contemporary in feel, prospective purchasers should note the unknown age of the double glazing and the property’s traditional layout if seeking a fully modern specification.
