A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor maisonette with private garden and off-street parking, offered chain-free and with a very long lease (900+ years). The living room benefits from a bay window that floods the room with light; a separate modern kitchen and bathroom keep daily living straightforward. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, maximising storage in the compact footprint.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance starter home close to major road links (M1/M25) and local amenities. Council Tax Band B keeps ongoing costs low. The block dates from the 1930s and has double glazing installed; heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators.
Be aware the overall internal size is small (approx. 417 sq ft) and the building’s original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect energy efficiency and future upgrade costs. The wider area has above-average crime rates, so buyers should consider security measures and check local crime reports. Some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes; there are, however, highly rated secondary options within reach.
With a private garden, single driveway parking and no upper chain, the flat offers immediate move-in potential or straightforward rental appeal. The property represents practical, affordable entry into Watford with clear scope for improvement and value uplift through insulation and cosmetic updates.
