A well-located first-floor one-bedroom apartment in a popular over-55s development, a short walk from Harpenden High Street. The home features a dual-aspect living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower. Residents benefit from an on-site house manager (five days a week), careline, communal lounge and lift/stairlift access.
Practical comforts include gas central heating, double glazing, ample resident parking and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful for staying connected. The lease has c.95 years remaining, and the property is offered as leasehold with a service charge of about £3,650.40 per year (c.£304.20 monthly), which covers communal services and ground rent.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize into a manageable, social setting close to shops and amenities. The development’s communal facilities and central location create convenience and companionship, but buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge and review the service schedule and any reserve fund details before committing.
Note: the area records a very high crime rate statistic — prospective purchasers should check local crime data and security arrangements, and verify any planned maintenance or major works that could affect future charges.
