The open-plan living room and refitted kitchen create a bright, contemporary living space, while the double bedroom and modern bathroom complete a compact, well-proportioned home ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The flat sits about 1.5 miles from St Albans City station (and approximately 1.1 miles from St Albans Abbey), making it a practical choice for commuters. The building is set back from the road with an open grassy communal area and views across similar residential blocks. Interior finishes are neutral with wooden flooring and modern lighting, so the property is ready to move into.
Practical considerations: the apartment is leasehold with 88 years remaining — lenders and buyers should check mortgage availability and potential extension costs. Service charge and ground rent are modest (service charge approx. £500; ground rent £10), and there is no flood risk. The local area is classified as an urban cultural mix with average crime and some indicators of area deprivation; buyers should assess local amenities and long-term outlook.
Overall this is a straightforward, recently updated one-bedroom for someone seeking a low-maintenance central St Albans base or an investment with commuter appeal. The property’s compact size and lease length are the main factors to weigh when deciding to view or proceed.
