Quiet, well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a purpose-built over-55s development, set moments from St Albans city centre. The dual-aspect living room opens via French doors to a south-west facing private patio that leads onto well-kept communal gardens — great for morning coffee or light gardening.
The layout is straightforward and easy to manage: a double bedroom, separate fitted kitchen, modern shower room and useful storage. Recent replacement windows help with comfort and insulation; main heating is by electric storage heaters, and the home runs on individual electricity supply.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining and an average service charge of £3,744 a year. The compact footprint (about 488 sq ft) and ground-floor position suit someone wanting low-maintenance, centrally located accommodation rather than large private outside space.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers and retirees who prioritise proximity to shops, parks and local amenities, plus easy access to Verulamium Park and the cathedral. It offers a calm, community-focused setting with straightforward scope for modest updating to personalise the interior.
