Summary - 82A SOUTHWOLD ROAD WATFORD WD24 7FH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, chain‑free one‑bed near Watford stations with long lease and parking.
Bright lounge/diner with separate kitchen and bedroom
A compact one‑bedroom flat in WD24 offering straightforward, low‑maintenance living within easy reach of Watford Junction and North Watford stations. The bright lounge/diner, separate kitchen and bedroom make the layout feel more like a small one‑bed apartment than a single room studio. Residents benefit from communal gardens, off‑street parking and double glazing. The 150‑year lease and modest ground rent make this a sensible long‑term buy for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors.
The property is small (approximately 344 sq ft) and sits in a modern development built around 1996–2002. Heating is electric via room heaters, so running costs may be higher than gas‑heated homes. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, which could affect remote working unless upgraded by a provider. Service charge is below average at about £483 per year and council tax is affordable.
No upper chain and a long lease simplify purchase logistics. The flat is ready to move into but its size and electric heating are its main compromises. Strong transport links, several highly rated schools nearby and on‑site parking add practical value for first‑time buyers or investors seeking a well‑located, low‑upkeep property.
