Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in the Old Electricity Works development, ideal for a first-time buyer looking for modern, low-maintenance living close to transport. The open-plan living/kitchen opens to a private balcony and generous windows, while fitted wardrobes and a fully tiled bathroom add practical finish. At 551 sq ft the layout is compact but well planned for everyday living.
High-spec fittings are a clear strength: handleless designer kitchens with quartz worktops, Amtico/tiled flooring and fully integrated appliances are included as standard. Residents benefit from concierge service, landscaped communal gardens, remote-controlled gated vehicle access and the option of allocated undercroft/off-street parking for some plots — useful in a town-centre location.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (999 years remaining) and carries an average service charge of £1,409 per year. Heating is electric, provided by room heaters, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — both factors to consider if you work from home or want lower running costs. Council tax band is not specified.
Positioned about a 12-minute walk (0.6 miles) from St Albans City station, the apartment offers one of the area’s best commuter links into London. If you prioritise a modern finish, immediate move-in condition and excellent local amenities, this flat is worth viewing; if fast internet or gas central heating are must-haves, check those points before committing.
