A chain-free, top-floor one-bedroom apartment in central St Albans, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a compact city pied-à-terre. The flat sits in a modern, well-maintained block built in the early 1990s and benefits from natural light from large windows and a small balcony. An allocated underground parking space is a rare convenience here, and the property is an easy walk to St Albans City station, shops and parks.
The layout is efficient: an open-plan living room, a fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel — sensible for occasional urban use but potentially costly as a primary home. The total internal area is about 398 sq ft, so the space suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining and an estimated lease-extension cost of around £3,000–£5,000. Service charge and ground rent details are not provided here — budget for ongoing charges when assessing affordability. There is no flooding risk, crime is low and local broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Overall this is a neatly presented, small-city apartment offering low-maintenance living and strong transport links. It works well for someone prioritising location, ease of access and secure parking, but buyers should factor in the limited internal space, electric heating running costs and the need to confirm service charge and ground rent figures before committing.
