Chain-free flat with parking and long lease ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free one-bedroom second-floor flat
Set on the second floor of a purpose-built block close to Cheshunt High Street, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-laid-out home for a single occupant or couple. The living area is open-plan with an attractive fitted kitchen and good natural light to the principal rooms. An internal storage cupboard and loft access add useful space-saving options.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, a secure entry system and a long lease (c.157 years). Service costs are c. £1,210.63 per year and ground rent is nil. The property has double glazing, an EPC rating of C and council tax band C — suggesting low immediate capital expenditure beyond routine redecoration.
Note the flat is heated by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The footprint is compact (c.441 sq ft) with no private garden and views over the courtyard/parking area. The local area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and pockets of deprivation, though the location benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and easy walking access to shops, buses and local schools.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central, chain-free purchase with long lease security and straightforward maintenance requirements. It’s an economical urban base with immediate occupancy potential, provided buyers accept the modest size and electric heating arrangement.
