Summary - 35, Fourdrinier Way HP3 9RP
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact commuter base with parking and long lease, suitable for first-time buyers.
Canal-side ground-floor maisonette with pleasant waterside outlook
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette with a prized canal-side position and private off-street parking. The apartment sits in a modern, well-presented building and offers an open-plan living/kitchen, a generous bedroom and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. Double glazing and electric storage heating reflect the property's late-1990s/early-2000s build.
This location is strong for commuters: Hemel Hempstead/ Apsley station and town centre shops are within easy walking distance, and road links to the A41/M25 are close by. The property is currently let at £1,000pcm, providing immediate rental income; it can also be sold with vacant possession for an owner-occupier.
Buyers should note practical points plainly: the home is small (around 415 sq ft) and uses electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas heating. There is a medium flood risk for the wider area and local crime levels are reported as very high — both important when considering insurance and long-term suitability.
The lease has about 100+ years remaining (102 years stated), making the tenure secure for mortgage lenders. Ground rent is approximately £347 (average). This is a straightforward option for first-time buyers seeking an affordable commuter base or investors looking for a lower-entry rental property close to transport links.
