This well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits in a tucked-away low-rise block, a short walk from Hemel Hempstead Old Town. The interior is modern and clean throughout, with a contemporary kitchen, a good-sized lounge/diner and an attractive bathroom — ready to move into without major work.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, double glazing, gas central heating and a long lease of approximately 130 years. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making the flat a sensible choice for first-time buyers or landlords seeking reliable lettings.
Be aware of some local factors: the neighbourhood and wider area are classified as hampered aspiration/hampered neighbourhoods, and the crime rate is above average. Service charges average £1,700 per year and there is a small ground rent of £80. The block dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so communal elements may reflect that era even though the flat itself is in very good condition.
At about 657 sq ft, the apartment offers an efficient layout rather than expansive space. For buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance home close to shops, cafés and transport links, this property delivers convenience and a long lease; for those prioritising a premium neighbourhood or larger rooms, the location and size are limiting factors.
