This nearly-new one-bedroom apartment on Frogmore Road offers efficient, low-maintenance living for a single professional or couple. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a private balcony, bringing extra light and outdoor space to the compact 547 sq ft layout. Allocated off-street parking and lift access add everyday convenience.
Practical ownership costs are a selling point: a long 995-year lease, no ground rent and a modest annual service charge of £1,152. The building carries an NHBC warranty with over six years remaining, providing tangible reassurance for buyers and investors alike. Apsley (Hemel Hempstead) station is about 0.6 miles away, making commuting straightforward.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important to consider. The flat has no private garden — outdoor amenity is limited to the balcony and modest communal grounds — and the area records a very high crime level, which may concern some buyers. The apartment is presented as average in overall size, so it’s best suited to first-time buyers, commuters, or buy-to-let purchasers seeking low-running costs rather than families needing large living space.
Overall this is a practical, modern apartment with sensible running costs and strong commuter appeal. It represents good entry-level ownership or an easy-to-manage rental opportunity, provided buyers factor in the local crime statistics and limited private outdoor space.
