A compact, well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Hemel Hempstead’s desirable Old Town, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The open-plan living area includes a fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar, while the bedroom and contemporary shower room make efficient use of the 413 sq ft footprint. An allocated off-street parking space adds practical convenience for owners or renters.
This property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry point into a popular historic neighbourhood. The flat benefits from a newly issued 150-year lease with a peppercorn ground rent and double glazing installed post-2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Notable running costs and considerations are the average service charge of £1,200 per year and electric underfloor heating (electricity is the main fuel), which can be more expensive than gas heating depending on usage. The overall size is small (413 sq ft) and the area records a higher crime rate than average, so buyers should factor location-specific security and lifestyle issues into their decision. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and Old Town setting.
