Ground-floor one-bedroom with open-plan living and full-height windows
Bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a modern low-rise development, a short walk from St Albans city centre and the mainline station. The open-plan living area has full-height windows and sliding doors to a communal south-facing terrace, creating a light, airy space for relaxing or dining. The contemporary kitchen includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar; the bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in storage and a modern bathroom with shower-over-bath.
Practical benefits include a residents-only gym, an allocated secure underground parking garage space and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Built between 2007–2011, the block has double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators; EPC rating B reflects reasonable energy performance.
Important lease and neighbourhood notes: the flat is leasehold with 84 years remaining — below typical mortgage-friendly thresholds and likely to require early lease extension. The area is affluent with highly qualified professionals nearby, but recorded local crime levels are high, which may influence insurance and personal-security considerations.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or city commuter who values location, light and low-maintenance modern living, and who is prepared to address the medium-term lease situation. Council tax is affordable and there is scope to personalise finishes if desired.
