Summary - 7 Station Road AL5 4SA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free 2-bed flat opposite the station — period features and long lease.
Chain free with 974-year lease and low ground rent (£50 pa)
A centrally located two-bedroom apartment on Station Road, minutes from Harpenden mainline station and high street amenities. Set within a Victorian end-terrace, the flat retains period features such as sash windows and exposed beams, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, living room, fitted kitchen, two good bedrooms and a white bathroom — all arranged over approximately 530 sq ft.
Practical ownership features appeal to buyers seeking a straightforward purchase: chain free, a very long lease (974 years) and modest ground rent (£50pa). There is no formal service charge; buildings insurance for 2024–25 is £419.93. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat suitable for commuting or home-working.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The property is small in overall size and sits in a very high crime area statistically, which may affect insurers and personal security perceptions. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; some thermal improvements or interior upgrades could be needed to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Council Tax band C is described as affordable.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for a central, conveniently located pied-à-terre with strong local amenities and schools nearby. It offers immediate occupation without a chain, while also presenting sensible potential for modest modernisation to increase comfort and value.
