1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Modern low-maintenance flat close to the station, ideal for first-time buyers.
Dual-aspect open-plan living with south-facing Juliette balcony
A bright one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Royston, finished to a high standard and built in 2021. The open-plan living area is dual-aspect and opens to a south-facing Juliette balcony, bringing light into the principal living space. The contemporary kitchen includes full-size integrated appliances and generous worktop space. The fully tiled bathroom benefits from underfloor heating, an illuminated mirror and a window for natural ventilation. The building remains under warranty until 2031.
Practical details suit city commuters and first-time buyers: it’s a 10-minute walk to Royston station with direct links to London and Cambridge, and the flat includes a separate utility cupboard plus built-in storage for flexible work-from-home arrangements. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working and streaming.
Known limitations are stated plainly: the property is leasehold (approximately 149 years remaining) with an average service charge around £1,400, and main heating is electric room heaters which can be more costly than gas alternatives. Energy rating is D (66). Local crime levels are reported as high for the area, so buyers should factor security and insurance considerations into their decision.
Overall this apartment offers a low-maintenance, well-specified town-centre home or buy-to-let opportunity for purchasers who prioritise location, modern finish and transport links, while accepting the ongoing costs and electric heating trade-offs.
