This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Homedell House is designed for over-60s living and sits under a mile from Harpenden High Street. The building offers practical communal facilities — residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, secure entry-phone and ample off-street parking — making daily life convenient for older buyers who want local shops and transport nearby.
The apartment measures approximately 482 sq ft and includes an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom. It is chain free and located in a very low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Heating is by electric storage heaters and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown).
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with around 60 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on leases of this length, which could limit buying options or require a cash purchase or lease extension. Service charge and ground rent are paid twice yearly (current combined annual cost c. £4,285). Buyers should also note the electric heating and typical 1980s construction when budgeting for running costs and potential updates.
