This well-presented second-floor studio sits in a modern purpose-built block, about a 10–15 minute walk from Watford Town Centre and the Metropolitan Line station. The open-plan living area with a separate bedroom zone and fitted kitchen provides efficient, low-maintenance accommodation for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating, residents’ parking, and maintained communal gardens. The flat is compact at approximately 312 sq ft but benefits from a long lease (circa 159 years) and a reasonable ground rent of £40 per year.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an average service charge of around £2,049 per year and electric heating (storage heaters) which can be more expensive than gas. The layout and size suit single occupants or couples rather than families; there is no private garden and communal facilities are shared.
Overall this is a convenient, low-upkeep city-edge flat offering good access to transport links and local amenities. Early viewing is sensible for anyone prioritising commuter convenience and straightforward, manageable accommodation.
