Walking distance to St Albans city centre and station
A rare ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in St Albans, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The compact open-plan living/kitchen area and double bedroom are well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance city base within easy walking distance of the station and city centre.
Practical positives include a private outdoor patio, allocated off-street parking plus time-limited visitor spaces, and a low council tax. The building dates from the early 20th century and has double glazing; the property is freehold with a reportedly low service charge.
Important facts: the apartment is very small (approx. 302 sq ft) and heated by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so consider potential energy-efficiency improvements. Visitors’ parking is timebound and outdoor space is modest rather than a full garden.
This home suits someone wanting a city-centre foothold — quick commutes, low upkeep and clear title — who is comfortable with a compact layout and may wish to upgrade heating or insulation over time.
