This newly renovated, chain-free one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a quiet modern development on St Albans Road. At about 395 sq ft it offers a double bedroom, a partially open-plan fitted kitchen and a bright reception room, finished with wood flooring and double glazing. The long lease (156 years) and allocated off-street parking make it practical for buyers seeking low upfront tenure risk and easy parking.

Practical running costs: the property is electrically heated by room heaters (no gas central heating), with an average service charge of £1,242 and a small ground rent of £200. These are worth factoring into monthly budgets alongside council tax, which is described as affordable. The development includes communal gardens and visitor parking, and there is no flood risk.

Location is a genuine selling point: low-crime, very affluent area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, close to local shops, bus links and with quick access to the M1 and M25. The apartment will suit first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in home, buy-to-let investors looking for a refurbished unit with parking, or someone seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre.

Considerations: the overall footprint is small, so buyers wanting more living space should view to judge suitability. Electric room heating may not suit those preferring gas central heating; any buyer wanting alternative heating should factor retrofit costs into plans.
