This ground-floor three-bedroom flat in Abridge Court is a practical, chain-free entry to Waltham Cross homeownership or a straightforward buy-to-let. The apartment occupies about 705 sq ft and benefits from a long share-of-freehold (around 900 years) and communal garden space. Transport is a clear strength — Waltham Cross rail and bus stations, local shopping, and easy A10/M25 access are all nearby.
Internally the layout is sensible for a small family or tenants: a 12 ft reception room, 9 ft fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The building is a mid-1970s purpose-built block with double glazing already installed. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local schools and amenities are within walking distance.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks. The property is compact for a three-bedroom (705 sq ft) and heating is via electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas. The immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime statistics — factors to consider for owner-occupiers and investors when assessing rental demand and insurance costs.
Overall this flat suits a first-time purchaser seeking a commuter base or an investor after a long-lease, chain-free unit close to transport and local amenities. The flat offers straightforward renovation potential rather than a major structural project, so budgets can focus on cosmetic improvements and targeted energy upgrades if desired.
