This fifth-floor, newly built apartment occupies 555 sq ft and delivers a compact, well-specified one-bedroom home in central St Albans. Interiors are finished to a high standard with handleless fitted kitchens, quartz worktops, full-height tiled bathrooms and fitted bedroom wardrobes — all designed to maximise light and usable space. The property includes a private balcony and residents’ communal gardens and roof terraces, with on-site concierge and gated parking for added convenience.
Practical details suit buyers seeking low-immediate-maintenance living in a town-centre location: the lease is long (999 years) and the building is new, so major works are unlikely in the short term. The location is convenient for commuters — about 0.6 miles (around a 12-minute walk) from St Albans City station, and an easy walk into the historic town centre with shops, restaurants and amenities.
Be aware of a relatively high service charge (around £1,409 average) and very slow broadband speeds recorded for the area, which may affect home-working or streaming. The apartment is leasehold; confirm any running costs, parking allocation and broadband options before committing.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to first-time buyers or buyers downsizing who prioritise specification, location and low upkeep, but who should factor service charges and broadband limitations into their affordability and lifestyle calculations.
