A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Smeaton Court, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance living close to Hertford East station. The open-plan living/kitchen layout and luxury bathroom make the most of the compact 473 sq ft, while built-in wardrobes add useful storage.
Practical benefits are clear: secure underground allocated parking, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a long lease of approximately 115 years. The development sits by the River Lea and is within easy walking distance of Hertford Town Centre, Hartham Common and rail links to central London. The building has passed an EWS1 assessment (cladding) for peace of mind.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk in the area and that the apartment is modest in size and on the ground floor, so expansive views are limited. Annual service charge and ground rent apply (around £1,200 and £300 respectively), and council tax is described as affordable. These ongoing costs and the property’s compact footprint are important for budgeting and suitability.
Overall, this apartment offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option in a highly connected, affluent area. It’s best suited to someone prioritising location, convenient commuting and low-maintenance living, or an investor seeking reliable rental demand close to transport and amenities.
