Summary - 17 MOUNTBATTEN CLOSE ST. ALBANS AL1 5AX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal starter home with parking and communal garden close to transport links.
Chain free one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette with long 176-year lease
A generous ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette on Mountbatten Close with a long lease and practical, well-presented accommodation. The living room benefits from a double-glazed bay and wood-effect flooring; a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom are both well maintained. Off-street parking and a sizable communal garden add useful outdoor space and drying facilities.
This home is chain free and the 176-year lease offers long-term security for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Heating is via a mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing helps with comfort and efficiency. Service charges are approximately £580 per year and include building insurance.
The property sits on the eastern side of St Albans within easy reach of the city centre, station and motorway links, making it well placed for commuters. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and nearby leisure and transport amenities are available. Broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Notable drawbacks are that the home is leasehold and on a ground floor position, and the immediate area records higher-than-average crime levels. The flat is average in overall size (about 543 sq ft) so living space is compact; any buyers seeking larger accommodation should note limited internal room count. Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase suited to a first home or rental investment.
