Set on the first floor of a modern purpose-built block, this two-bedroom apartment gives first-time buyers a ready-made, low-maintenance home. The open-plan living area flows to a balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, creating a light, social space for everyday living and occasional entertaining. One bedroom has an en-suite, plus there is a separate family bathroom — practical for sharers or visiting family.
Practical comforts are in place: double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an allocated off-street parking space. The long lease (126 years remaining) and absence of an upper chain simplify purchase logistics. Local amenities and transport links are close by, and the property sits near well-regarded schools including Watford Grammar School for Boys.
Costs and communal responsibilities are notable: the annual service charge averages £2,900 and ground rent is £300. The development dates from the mid-2000s and presents in average-to-good external condition; internal decorative or finish updates may be desired to personalise the flat. The wider area is an inner-city, culturally mixed neighbourhood with above-average recorded crime — worth factoring into personal safety and insurance considerations.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a sizeable, low-maintenance two-bed with outdoor space and parking, or an investor looking for a straightforward rental asset in a convenient Watford location.
