Summary - Cotlandswick, London Colney AL2 1EG
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, renovator-friendly one-bedroom flat near High Street amenities — ideal first purchase or rental investment.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat, first-floor, approx. 478 sq ft
This chain-free one-bedroom flat in Cotlandswick offers straightforward entry to the AL2 market for first-time buyers or investors. The first-floor layout includes a double bedroom, bright living room, separate kitchen and bathroom across about 478 sq ft, with gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
The building is mid‑20th century and the flat needs renovation: cosmetic updating, possible improvements to insulation, and kitchen modernisation will be required to lift the EPC D rating. The property is leasehold with 103 years remaining; service charge (£935.69pa) and low ground rent (£10pa) apply.
Location is a strong practical benefit — a short walk to the High Street, local shops, schools rated Good/Outstanding nearby, and good bus, road and rail links for commuters. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and rental demand.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk and that the building is a system build with assumed lack of wall insulation, which may affect refurbishment costs and thermal performance. Taken as a modest, well‑located flat sold chain‑free, it suits buyers wanting to add value through renovation or investors targeting steady rental income.
