This compact one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Hemel Hempstead, a short walk from town centre shops, transport links and local amenities. The open-plan living area opens to a small balcony, bringing daylight into the newly refitted kitchen and living space. Recent upgrades include a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing—ready to move into.
Practical features suit a first-time buyer or investor: one allocated off-street parking space, a long lease (142 years) and fast broadband/mobile connectivity. The building dates from 2007–2011 and benefits from lift access and maintained communal grounds, making day-to-day living straightforward.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (about 350 sq ft) and carries notable running costs: an average service charge of £2,000pa and a comparatively high ground rent of £906pa. The local recorded crime level is very high, which may affect insurance and perceptions of the area. These are important factors alongside the otherwise affordable council tax banding.
Overall this apartment offers an economical route onto the property ladder or a compact, let-ready investment with low immediate maintenance thanks to recent refurbishment. Viewings are recommended to assess space and check the communal environment in person.
