This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Beech Drive offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase with private outside space and off-street parking — rare for a flat at this price point. The layout is conventional and practical: reception room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom, all arranged off a central hall. The rear garden is longer than typical for flats and provides usable outdoor space for a first home or rental tenant.
The property requires modernisation throughout: fittings, bathroom and some internal finishes are dated and the flat would benefit from a refresh to reach its full potential. Mechanical services are typical for the era — gas boiler and radiators are installed and double glazing is in place (pre-2002). Buyers should note the lease has 87 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £960 and a ground rent of £10.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer wanting an affordable entry into Borehamwood or a buy-to-let investor looking for a straightforward let close to local shopping and transport. Consider the lease length and renovation costs when budgeting; the property’s low council tax band and chain-free status help deliver a cost-effective purchase and faster conveyancing process.
