This compact first-floor apartment in central Watford is offered as 40% shared ownership, ideal for buyers getting on the ladder. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 387 sq ft footprint, while a recently installed energy-efficient boiler (2022) reduces immediate heating costs.
The long lease (137 years remaining) and low-maintenance communal courtyard suit buyers seeking a straightforward, low-upkeep home close to shops, the Atria and excellent transport links. Watford High Street station and local bus routes are within walking distance, making commuting convenient.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the flat is small, has no private outdoor space, and uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. It is a leasehold property with shared-ownership terms and potential additional fees (leasehold packs, service charges) — factors buyers should confirm early with their solicitor.
Overall, this modest one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable town-centre entry point for a single buyer or couple seeking convenience and low maintenance, provided they are comfortable with shared ownership and compact living.
