Compact, character-filled home ideal for village living or a straightforward rental.
Chain free first-floor maisonette with extensive country views
Set within the historic Old School in Lilley, this first-floor one-bedroom maisonette combines village character with wide country views. The living space is presented neutrally and benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, shower room and a double bedroom — a straightforward, ready-to-move-into home for a single buyer or couple.
Practical positives include communal off-street parking, access to a communal garden and a very long lease (939 years). The property is offered chain free, making it a quick purchase option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low entry cost in a sought-after Hertfordshire village.
Be aware of a few material points: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas; broadband is very slow in the area; and the building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation. There is a modest service charge of £480 per year.
Overall this maisonette suits buyers prioritising location, countryside views and low initial hassle over high-performance energy efficiency. It’s especially appropriate for those who value village life and a compact, manageable home with potential to personalise and improve insulation or heating over time.
