Leasehold tenure with ground rent £200; low service charge reported
Compact total size (approx. 357 sq ft) — best for one or two people

Local crime level recorded as very high — factor for security and insurance
Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in London Colney, this ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, ready-to-live-in layout with an enclosed private garden. The open-plan lounge and kitchen maximises the modest footprint, creating a bright, practical space for everyday living and occasional entertaining.
Practical running costs are an advantage: low service charge, council tax band B described as cheap, and mains gas central heating with double glazing installed after 2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming. The location provides easy access to Junction 22 of the M25 and nearby retail amenities, making commutes and shopping straightforward.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with a ground rent of £200 and an EPC rating of D. The building dates from 1967–1975 and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs until improved. The overall accommodation and garden are small — suited to a single person, a couple, or a buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance asset.
Buyers should also be aware of local context: crime in the immediate area is recorded as very high, which may affect suitability for some households and will be a consideration for insurers or tenants. A survey is recommended to verify services and structural condition before purchase.
