Summary - FLAT 50, QUEENS GATE, 2 LORD STREET WD17 2LQ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Modern two-bed with parking and strong rental potential near stations.
Upper floor apartment with lift access
A practical, centrally located two-bedroom apartment offering ready-made rental appeal in Watford town centre. Located on an upper floor with lift access, the flat provides a modern open-plan kitchen/reception that opens onto a private balcony, plus two bathrooms including an ensuite — features that attract sharers and professionals seeking convenience.
Residents benefit from secure gated underground parking and well-maintained communal courtyard gardens, useful conveniences in a busy urban setting. Excellent transport links nearby (Watford Junction and Watford High Street) and immediate access to shops, restaurants and leisure facilities support strong tenant demand and easy short-journey commuting to central London.
The property is leasehold with 134 years remaining; service charges and ground rent are material costs to account for (circa £2,200 pa and £325 pa respectively). Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may affect running costs and tenant appeal. EPC rating C is reasonable for the building age but worth noting for long-term energy discussions.
Overall this apartment suits an investor seeking a low-management, city-centre buy-to-let or a purchaser wanting a modern, compact home close to transport. The combination of gated parking, two bathrooms and a balcony strengthens rental prospects, while the leasehold costs and electric heating should be factored into yield and affordability calculations.
