This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Precious Court offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Royston town centre and the mainline station. The open-plan living and kitchen area and two double bedrooms make efficient use of the 591 sq ft footprint, suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking transport links and local amenities.
The building is modern (built 2007–2011) with double glazing, mains gas heating and allocated off-street parking plus a private lockup. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working; a small communal garden gives outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
Notable costs and limitations are the leasehold tenure (107 years remaining) and an average service charge of £1,500 per year. The apartment is compact and will suit buyers comfortable with smaller living spaces. The surrounding area data notes higher local crime — sensible security precautions and local enquiries are recommended.
Overall this property presents straightforward commuter appeal and rental potential (estimated around £1,200 pcm), but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, leasehold considerations, and the compact internal size when deciding to view.
