A top-floor one-bedroom flat offering practical central living in Harpenden. The apartment benefits from a generous living room that opens onto a private south‑west facing balcony, bringing afternoon sun and outdoor space for a small table or plants. The long lease (circa 949 years) and chain-free sale make this an easy purchase for a first-time buyer or investor.
Location is a genuine strength: the property is within walking distance of Harpenden town centre, mainline station and several outstanding schools. Residents’ communal grounds and partial off‑street parking provide a pleasant, low‑maintenance setting in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile and broadband coverage.
Practical considerations: the kitchen is compact and dated and the heating is by electric storage heaters — both areas where buyers may want to upgrade. The block was built in the 1970s and has cavity walls assumed to have no insulation, which may affect running costs despite the affordable service charge and ground rent of £800 per year. Overall this is a small, well-located one-bed suitable for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor looking for a straightforward purchase with scope to modernise.
