This chain-free, two-bedroom apartment on the first floor offers a practical and well-presented home for first-time buyers or young professionals. The living room opens onto a private balcony, bringing in daylight and extending the living space; a separate fitted kitchen and two bathrooms add everyday convenience. At approximately 625 sq ft, the layout is traditional and straightforward, ready to personalise.
The property sits in a gated development with an allocated off-street parking space and communal gardens, useful for storage and outdoor relaxation without heavy maintenance. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the long lease (around 157 years remaining) provides security for mortgage purposes. Rickmansworth Station and the High Street are within short walking distance, making commuting and local shopping effortless.
There are some practical points to note: heating is electric via room heaters rather than a gas central system, which may mean higher running costs and limited central heating performance. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has cavity walls with only partial insulation assumed, so further insulation or heating upgrades could improve comfort and efficiency. Crime levels are reported above average for the area, which some buyers will want to weigh against the gated development and secure entry.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking an affordable, move-in-ready flat in a very well-connected, affluent neighbourhood with good local schools and leisure amenities. It offers straightforward potential to improve energy performance and personalise internally, while the long lease and allocated parking are strong practical benefits.
