A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment in central St Albans, arranged efficiently across about 423 sq ft. Large dual-aspect windows flood the open-plan living space with light; a wood-style floor and integrated kitchen appliances make the apartment move-in ready for a single occupant or couple. Allocated gated parking is a notable convenience in this central location.
The location is the main draw: two minutes’ walk from the city centre and around a ten-minute walk to the mainline station with direct services to St Pancras — ideal for commuters and city workers. Local amenities, shops and strong schools are all within easy reach, and the building sits in a very affluent area with well-maintained communal frontage.
Buyers should note this is a compact apartment with limited internal space and no private garden — better suited to first-time buyers, professionals or as a rental investment. Heating runs from an electric boiler and radiators (electric main fuel), which can be more costly than gas in regular use. The property is leasehold with 115 years remaining.
There are practical considerations: the area records above-average crime levels, and the flat’s small footprint means storage and entertaining space are limited. Council tax levels are described as affordable. Overall this is a convenient, low-maintenance urban flat with strong transport links and clear appeal for those prioritising location over large living space.
