Second-floor retirement flat in over‑60s development
A second-floor one-bedroom flat in Homedell House, built for over‑60s living, located under a mile from Harpenden High Street. The apartment offers a practical layout with an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, double bedroom with built‑in wardrobe and a bathroom. The development includes a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest facilities, secure entry phone system and ample off‑street parking.
This retirement development suits buyers seeking low‑maintenance, community‑focused living close to shops, bus routes and well‑rated local schools. The area is very affluent with very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for staying connected with family or hobbies.
Buyers should note important leasehold considerations: there are approximately 60 years remaining on the lease. Many mortgage lenders are reluctant to lend on properties with this short a lease, so purchase may require cash or a specialist lender. Service charge and ground rent apply (approximately £3,785.64 pa service charge; £499.36 pa ground rent), and heating is by electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas alternatives.
This property is offered chain‑free and presents a straightforward retirement home with communal support and nearby amenities, while also requiring buyers to consider lease length, ongoing charges and heating costs when assessing long‑term value.
