This well-presented first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical, move-in ready layout in a popular London Colney development. The interior has been recently refreshed with a modern kitchen and an attractive bathroom, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors seeking low-immediate-upkeep accommodation close to St Albans.
The location is a strong selling point: easy access to the motorway network, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby Colney Fields retail park, and short drives into St Albans for shops and cafés. Residents benefit from well-kept communal gardens and off-street parking, plus gas central heating and double glazing.
Buyers must verify lease details: marketing states a newly extended lease of 142 years, but other records indicate 53 years remaining. This discrepancy should be clarified with legal advice, as a shorter lease can affect mortgage availability and value. The flat is compact and will suit those seeking a smaller footprint rather than generous living space.
Other practical points: the building dates from the late 1960s/1970s and has cavity walls (no added insulation assumed), and the area records a very high crime rate—buyers should consider security and insurance implications. Overall, this apartment offers a convenient, affordable entry into the St Albans market, provided lease and local safety concerns are checked.
