Summary - 21 ESKDALE LONDON COLNEY ST ALBANS AL2 1TJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two‑bed first‑floor flat with parking, close to M25 and local shops.
No onward chain — available for a quicker sale
Set on the first floor of a post‑war brick block, this two‑bed flat offers an affordable entry into London Colney with no onward chain. The dual‑aspect living room brings good daylight to the main living space, and resident off‑street parking is included — a practical plus for commuters and buyers with cars.
Practical running costs include an average service charge of £1,400 and a ground rent of £250; the tenure is leasehold so buyers should review the lease length and possible additional leasehold pack fees. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, with double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls likely without insulation — expect modest energy performance and consider insulation improvements.
Location is a clear benefit: close to Junction 22 of the M25, local shops, a retail park and regular bus links, making it suitable for first‑time buyers or investors targeting the private rental market. The property is compact (approximately 539 sq ft) and rooms are best suited to singles, couples or small families.
Note the area crime level is recorded as very high; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves about local safety and security measures. A buyer seeking a low‑maintenance move‑in will appreciate the presented condition, but anyone wanting higher thermal efficiency or modern fittings should budget for upgrades.
