Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac off Lower High Street, this bright 762 sq ft maisonette offers a practical, characterful home or buy-to-let near Watford town centre. The layout includes a large dual-aspect reception, a modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom; a sunny south-easterly garden of approximately 53ft and gated side access extend the living space outdoors. Commuters benefit from short walks to Watford High Street, Watford Town Centre and Bushey stations (fast links to central London). Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent.
The building is a Victorian-era property (pre-1900) with solid brick walls and double glazing; mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The lease has 98 years remaining. Building insurance is £330 per annum and there are no service charge or ground rent payments currently. Controlled Parking Zone permits are available locally; there is off-street parking nearby.
Important practical points: the area records very high crime levels and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone — both material factors for buyers and landlords. Solid brick walls are assumed to have no wall insulation, so improving thermal performance could be needed and would reduce running costs. The garden has overgrown vegetation and an outbuilding that will require basic maintenance or clearance.
Overall this maisonette suits first-time buyers seeking space and transport links, or investors targeting steady rental demand. The combination of period character, generous reception room, outdoor space and nearby amenities creates clear potential, but buyers should factor in security, flood risk and retrofit costs when budgeting.
