Compact, chain-free flat near shops and fast road links for first-time buyers.
Ground-floor one double bedroom apartment, 411 sq ft
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in London Colney, offered with no upper chain and immediate possession possible. The flat contains a refitted kitchen, a bright lounge/diner and a generous double bedroom within 411 sq ft of living space. Residents parking and well-kept communal gardens sit to the front and rear of the block respectively. Colney Fields Shopping Park, local schools and the M25 are all close by, giving strong convenience for everyday needs and commuting.
This property suits a first-time buyer or downsizer who wants a compact, low-maintenance home in an established neighbourhood, or an investor seeking straightforward tenancy potential in a well-connected area. The building’s mid‑20th-century construction provides character but also means the fabric and finishes are dated in places — the living room shows wear and would benefit from modernisation.
Important practical facts: the lease has 53 years remaining and some lenders may refuse mortgages on this basis. The annual service charge is around £1,200. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. Buyers should factor in potential lease extension costs and any works to bring finishes up to their standard.
Viewings are recommended for buyers who prioritise location, low upfront moving complexity (no chain) and straightforward parking, and who are comfortable addressing lease length and cosmetic updating after purchase.
