This bright first-floor flat offers practical, modern living in Markyate’s sought-after London Road location. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with Juliette balcony and remodelled shower room make it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a straightforward let. Two double bedrooms and allocated off-street parking for two cars add everyday convenience.
Constructed after 2007 and with double glazing and a B EPC rating, the apartment is energy-efficient and low-maintenance. The property is offered as a share of freehold with about 110 years remaining on the lease and a below-average service charge of £420 — sensible ownership costs in a very affluent, low-crime area. The communal garden and secure entry system provide outdoor space and peace of mind.
Transport links are a genuine strength: the M1 (J9) is about 2 miles away and Harpenden station offers sub-30-minute services to St. Pancras, making this practical for commuters. Local amenities, pubs and schools are within walking distance, and broadband speeds are average — suitable for most home-working needs but not top-tier.
The flat is average-sized at about 670 sq ft, which will suit individuals, couples or small families but may feel compact for those needing lots of space. Overall, it’s a well-presented, low-hassle home with good rental or owner-occupier appeal; viewings are recommended to appreciate the layout and condition in person.
