This one-bedroom new-build apartment on Grosvenor Road offers a compact, contemporary home close to St Albans city centre and the station. The open-plan living/kitchen and balcony maximise natural light across approximately 425 sq ft, making it a practical choice for a commuter or first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance urban living. A long 999-year lease and no ground rent under the current lease provide long-term security.
The apartment is finished to a modern specification with fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom and a contemporary bathroom. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the development sits in a very affluent, low-crime area — useful conveniences for everyday life and potential rental appeal. Trains to London run from St Albans City in just over 20 minutes, which is a key commuting benefit.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold new build: the lease has 999 years remaining but is not yet registered at the Land Registry. The service charge is currently stated at £1,574 per year; this covers managed communal areas and may increase with estate costs. Council tax band for the property is yet to be determined.
At around 425 sq ft the apartment is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple, or as a buy-to-let investment. Images are illustrative and exact finish, colours and dimensions may vary between plots; buyers are advised to verify specifications and measurements before purchase.
