This chain-free two double-bedroom flat sits in a convenient Watford location, a few minutes’ walk from Watford Junction and the town centre. The apartment offers 720 sq ft of open-plan living, a large hallway with built-in storage, and an allocated gated parking space—practical features for commuters or buy-to-let buyers.
Built in 2007 and currently requiring updating, the property has good bones: double glazing, communal gardens, and an EPC C. The accommodation includes a spacious 20ft-plus living room with a fitted kitchen area, two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a generous bathroom. The long lease (over 135 years) reduces ownership friction and supports financing or lettings.
Running costs and practicalities are straightforward but important to note: heating is by electric room heaters, service charge is about £3,948 per year, and ground rent is £260 per year. These, together with the need for cosmetic and possible kitchen or heating upgrades, have been reflected in the asking price.
For investors, the flat’s central location, excellent transport links to London Euston (around 20 minutes) and strong local rental demand point to attractive yields once refurbished. Owner-occupiers seeking a well-located starter home should factor in renovation budgets but will benefit from ample storage, parking and quick access to shops, schools and leisure amenities.
