A practical two-double-bedroom, two-bathroom ground-floor apartment just a short walk from Watford town centre and the Metropolitan Line. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite and a family bathroom—suited to first-time buyers or commuters needing straightforward, ready-to-live accommodation.
The apartment benefits from allocated off-street parking, communal gardens and a wrap-around decking area that extends the living space outdoors. Built in the early 2000s, the block has double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of C—reasonable running costs for the area.

Broadband speeds are average and mobile reception is excellent. The location offers many strong local schools, quick station access and multiple local amenities.
Be candid about local downsides: the apartment is ground floor so privacy and security should be considered, and the immediate area records above-average crime levels. Interior space is average for a two-bed at about 764 sq ft; cosmetic updates may be desired to personalise the finish. Council Tax band D applies.
