Set on the first floor of a Victorian semi-detached building, this one-bedroom flat offers an affordable, chain-free entry to Watford living. The home includes a double-glazed bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen, a good-sized living room and valuable off-street parking — a rare convenience for central locations.
Practical extras include a large loft for storage and cheap council tax costs. The property sits close to shops, buses and well-rated schools, including two grammar schools ranked in the top 10% — useful for buyers prioritising education or rental demand.
Buyers should note the flat is leasehold and compact at 388 sq ft. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which can mean higher running costs; purchasers should budget for potential insulation or heating upgrades.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for straightforward access to Watford amenities and strong local rental/school catchment appeal. All services and fixtures have not been tested; buyers are recommended to arrange their own inspections.
