A well-presented, chain-free two-bedroom apartment on the third floor of Benedictine Place, positioned in the heart of St Albans. At 877 sq ft the home offers an open-plan living/dining area with Juliet-style glazing to London Road, a modern fitted kitchen, a principal bedroom with en-suite and a second bedroom served by a separate bathroom. Allocated secure underground parking and an on-site residents’ gym are useful lifestyle add-ons for commuters and professionals.
The flat’s 132-year lease and EPC C are positive ownership details, while double glazing and recent build quality (2003–2006) give a modern, low-maintenance feel. Its city-centre location is highly walkable: the mainline station, shops, cafes and leisure amenities are all within easy reach, making daily commutes to London straightforward.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an above-average council tax band E, typical ground rent and a service charge of around £3,400 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can mean higher energy bills for some households. The property sits in an area recorded as having very high crime, so prospective purchasers may wish to investigate local security provision further.
Overall this apartment suits a commuter couple, professional sharers or an investor seeking a central St Albans let with ready tenant demand. It offers immediate move-in condition and solid practical amenities, balanced by running costs and local safety considerations that will matter to budget-conscious buyers.
