Set on Markyate’s historic High Street, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers roomy, adaptable living perfect for a first home or rental addition. The standout sitting/dining room stretches over 20ft, delivering bright dual-aspect light and space for everyday living and entertaining. Two double bedrooms and a separate fitted kitchen complete practical accommodation across an 834 sq ft footprint.
The property is offered with no onward chain and includes an allocated off-street parking space to the rear — conveniences that appeal to both buyers and landlords. The village location places shops, pubs, a Post Office and good local schools within walking distance, while Junction 9 of the M1 and nearby Harpenden and Luton Parkway stations provide straightforward commuter links to London.
Practical details are investor- and buyer-friendly: a 98-year lease remaining, affordable council tax (Band C) and low local crime. The building is a Victorian terrace with period character and double glazing; heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. EPC rating D should be noted when budgeting for running costs or future upgrades.
Known considerations are factual and important: the property is leasehold with a ground rent of £200 per annum and 98 years remaining on the lease. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the double glazing installation date is unknown — both points to consider for longer-term energy improvements. Overall, this apartment presents a straightforward, marketable package for a first-time buyer seeking space in a village setting or an investor seeking a lettable, commuter-friendly flat.
