This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette sits 1.2 miles from St Albans city centre and offers a ready-to-live-in layout with a rare large private rear garden and separate garden room. The bay-fronted reception and contemporary kitchen provide bright, practical living space for first-time buyers or couples seeking room to grow.
Practical running details are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing installed after 2002, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working from the garden room. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and easy access to the mainline station make the location convenient for commuting and everyday life.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 89 years remaining; mortgage lenders and lease-extension costs should be checked. The building’s cavity walls were constructed without insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating use or future retrofit work. Crime levels are recorded as high in the immediate area, so consider security measures.
Presented well throughout and occupying about 768 sq ft, the maisonette balances low-maintenance indoor living with outdoor space uncommon for this property type. It suits first-time buyers looking for space, a home office and proximity to St Albans’ amenities, while requiring awareness of lease and insulation considerations.
