Comfortable two-bedroom home with garage and communal facilities near shops.
Select over-55 development, 200m from Harpenden High Street
A well-presented two-bedroom home within a select over-55 development, just 200 metres from Harpenden High Street. The property offers comfortable, multi-storey living across c.968 sq ft, with a recently fitted kitchen, main bathroom and an ensuite to the principal bedroom. A paved rear garden and a useful single garage add practical outdoor and parking space.
Residents benefit from on-site support and communal facilities: a house manager, resident’s lounge, well-kept communal gardens and emergency pull cords within the property. The development is chain free and finished in a modern style dating from the early 1990s, with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with 116 years remaining and a notable service charge (£4,333.42 for 2025–26) plus a high Council Tax band G. Local area strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and top-performing nearby schools; however, recorded local crime levels are very high, which may concern some purchasers.
This home will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement base close to shops and amenities, with on-site community support and straightforward indoor/outdoor living. The property is presented chain free and ready for immediate occupation.
