This neatly presented top-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within a converted Victorian building close to St Albans city centre and the mainline station. The bright open-plan living area, contemporary kitchen and generous double bedroom make it a low-maintenance home or straightforward buy‑to‑let in a desirable location. Communal on-site facilities include a gym, bike store and allocated off-street parking, with Clarence Park moments away.
The property benefits from modern finishes, double glazing and gas central heating, giving good comfort and energy performance for the size. At about 510 sq ft the apartment offers efficient living space with characterful arched dormer windows and high ceilings in parts, creating pleasing light and a roomy feel compared with typical conversions.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 83 years remaining — below the preferred threshold for some lenders and buyers, so lease renewal will be necessary and could add cost. Council Tax sits above average and local crime levels are reported high; these factors should be weighed alongside the location and amenities.
Overall this is a well-presented, low‑upkeep one-bedroom apartment suited to a commuter couple, first-time buyer or investor looking for a centrally located St Albans property with parking and communal facilities. Lease length and local safety considerations are the main material drawbacks to address before purchase.
