Set opposite Boxmoor Moor and just a short walk from Boxmoor village, this one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers a compact, well-presented home in a sought-after residential pocket. The living room is generous for the property type, and both kitchen and bathroom are modern—making the flat move-in ready for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Allocated off-street parking is a practical bonus in this area.
The leasehold sits on a long 149-year term, with modest ongoing costs: a below-average service charge (£960pa) and a small ground rent (£100pa). The apartment’s footprint is average for a one-bedroom unit (about 492 sq ft) and the outside space is small, so buyers should expect low-maintenance grounds rather than a full garden.
Practical considerations are straightforward: excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit home working, and Hemel Hempstead mainline station is within easy walking distance (around 0.4 miles). The property is in a generally affluent area with good local schools and amenities, though local crime levels are noted as high and should be considered when assessing security and insurance needs.
Overall this maisonette is pitched squarely at first-time buyers and investors who value location, low running maintenance, and a ready-to-live-in interior. It offers scope for minor cosmetic updates to personalise the space, but no major refurbishment is indicated in the description.
