Summary - CROSTHWAITE COURT 14 STEWART ROAD HARPENDEN AL5 4RN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Minutes from Harpenden station with private garage and communal gardens.
Chain-free ground-floor two-bedroom apartment with long lease
A well-proportioned ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in a popular Crosthwaite Court development, offered chain-free and with an exceptionally long lease. The bright, double-aspect living room opens to a modern fitted kitchen, and both double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. Underground garage parking and communal gardens add low-maintenance outdoor space and secure parking in a quiet, low-crime neighbourhood.
This home suits a first-time buyer or someone seeking an easy-to-manage starter property close to Harpenden mainline station — only a few hundred yards away — with fast broadband and strong local schools nearby. Gas central heating and modern bathroom keep running costs straightforward; Council Tax Band C remains affordable.
Practical points to note: the service charge is approximately £2,050 per year (paid half-yearly at about £1,025), and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so communal areas are of their period Brutalist style. The property has cavity walls assumed without added insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, which could mean future energy-improvement works to reduce bills and improve comfort.
Overall, this apartment delivers easy access to transport, sensible running costs, and long lease security — making it a pragmatic choice for buyers prioritising location and low-maintenance living, while accepting some retrofit or updating opportunities.
