Easy city living near fast trains and vibrant high street amenities.
One double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and ensuite shower room
Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in the heart of St Albans, arranged over 537 sq ft with a practical, traditional layout. The open living area and modern fitted kitchen create an efficient, low-maintenance home that suits a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking central convenience and good transport links.
The flat benefits from an ensuite and a separate contemporary bathroom, lift access and integrated kitchen appliances. St Albans City station is about 0.7 miles away with frequent fast services to London, and the property sits directly on the high street with immediate access to shops, cafés and local amenities.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining and an annual ground rent of £300. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators, and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation — this may affect running costs and future upgrade requirements.
Overall this is a well-presented, city-centre apartment offering turn-key living or straightforward rental potential. Buyers should note the lease length, ongoing ground rent, and the very high local crime statistic when weighing long-term suitability.
