Bright, recently renovated one-bedroom apartment on Borehamwood High Street, arranged over one level and designed for easy urban living. Large windows and a south‑westerly aspect flood the open-plan living space with daylight; the fitted kitchen, ensuite bathroom and additional guest cloakroom add practical everyday convenience. At 559 sq ft this home suits singles or couples seeking a low-maintenance base close to shops and transport.
Practical advantages include a long 140‑year lease, below‑average service charge (£547) and modest ground rent (£163), which together keep ongoing costs controlled. The property is just 0.3 miles from Elstree & Borehamwood Thameslink station and within walking distance of schools, supermarkets and leisure amenities, making it well placed for commuting and local life.
Buyers should note important local considerations: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect perceived safety and long‑term resale values. The building was constructed around nine years ago and the flat is newly renovated, but the urban setting and local statistics are material factors to weigh before purchase.
Overall this apartment offers a turn‑key, cost‑efficient entry to the local market with clear commuter appeal. It is particularly suitable for first‑time buyers or investors looking for a compact, modern flat near strong transport links — provided they are comfortable with the neighbourhood profile.
