Chain free one-bedroom apartment, first-floor with lift access
This bright one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a modern development, offered chain free and with a lift to all levels.

At around 534 sq ft the layout is well proportioned for a first home or buy-to-let, and the property is only 0.6 miles from St Albans City station.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, visitor bays, secure entry and well-maintained communal gardens that add curb appeal and easy outdoor space. Heating is by mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed (installation date unknown). The lease is exceptionally long at 974 years and the property is free of flood risk.
Costs and communal responsibilities are important: the service charge is approximately £2,500 per year and ground rent is £50, which buyers should factor into ongoing affordability. The building was constructed in the late 1990s–early 2000s and is in a generally affluent, urban area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
