This top-floor, two double-bedroom apartment in Abbots Langley offers a comfortable, low-maintenance home for anyone aged 55 and over. The layout includes a spacious lounge/dining area, a fitted kitchen, built-in hallway storage and a well-maintained shower room — practical spaces arranged for everyday ease.
Residents benefit from communal gardens, a lift to upper floors, allocated off-street parking and a secure telecom entry system. The High Street is within easy walking distance for shops, cafes and services, and the location has excellent travel links and low local crime for added reassurance.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 59 years remaining — some lenders may refuse mortgages on such a short lease. The service charge is relatively high at £4,080 per year and heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be costly to run compared with gas alternatives.
Overall, the property suits buyers seeking a convenient, social over-55s setting with straightforward accommodation and close amenities. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising location and communal facilities, though buyers should seek mortgage advice and consider long-term lease and running-cost implications.
