Bright two-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony and generous communal facilities.
Dual-aspect open-plan living with balcony and Rothamsted Park views
Apartment 27 is a bright, dual-aspect two-bedroom retirement home on the fourth floor, with a private balcony and direct views over Rothamsted Park. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is spacious and finished to a high specification, with integrated appliances and plenty of storage. The main bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite; a second shower room and further storage complete the layout.
Set within a secure, age-exclusive development built in 2014, residents have use of communal facilities including an elegant owners’ lounge, on-site Brad & Dill café, landscaped courtyard, wellness area and two guest suites. A friendly on-site team (Mon–Fri 9am–4pm), 24-hour emergency call system and allocated parking add practical convenience for independent living. Pets are allowed subject to approval.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold (approx. 239 years remaining), with an annual service charge of £7,446 and ground rent of £350. Main heating is via a community scheme; council tax band F (expensive). Broadband and mobile signals are excellent. Note: the local crime statistic is recorded as very high, which prospective buyers should consider when assessing the area.
This apartment will suit those seeking a low-maintenance, well-appointed home in Harpenden with excellent town amenities, strong transport links to London and immediate access to parkland and local leisure facilities. It offers comfortable retirement living with social and practical on-site support, but carries above-average running costs and leasehold charges that buyers should factor into affordability calculations.
