Summary - Hughenden Road, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, AL4 AL4 9QP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bedroom with garage and communal gardens, ideal for purchase-and-renovate..
Chain-free first-floor maisonette with long lease (circa 143 years)
A first-floor one-bedroom maisonette with a long lease and single garage, offered chain-free and ready for renovation. The apartment sits in a mid-century block with communal gardens and enjoys a bright sitting room overlooking the green space. Its location is practical — within walking distance of Marshalswick and The Quadrant shops, Marks & Spencer food hall, the library and local amenities.
Internally the layout is traditional and efficient: sitting room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The property needs updating throughout — the kitchen and bathroom are dated, there is peeling paint and evidence of minor damp in places — so expect a renovation programme to modernise finishes and services. The long lease (approximately 143 years) and low service charges are strong ownership positives.
Outside there is communal lawned garden space, residents’ parking, a useful brick storage shed and an en-bloc single garage, which adds storage or rental potential. Broadband and mobile signal are good and council tax is relatively cheap, supporting low running costs.
This maisonette will suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out cosmetic refurbishment to unlock value. Be aware the local crime level is above average; buyers should factor this into their plans and consider security improvements as part of any update.
