Set within a gated, modern development on London Road, this two-bedroom apartment offers secure, low-maintenance living with excellent commuter links. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen open onto a south-west facing walk-on balcony; a second balcony sits off the master suite, creating two private outdoor spaces. Landscaped communal gardens include a barbecue area, external storage shed and an individual allotment plot for growing herbs and vegetables.
Finished to a high standard, the apartment features a master bedroom with fitted wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, a further double bedroom, separate bathroom and a useful utility room. At about 797 sq ft the layout feels airy without being oversized, and floor-to-ceiling windows maximise light. Lift access and allocated off-street parking add everyday convenience.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (117 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £2,320 and ground rent £400. Heating is electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, and council tax is above average. Broadband and mobile signals are average and local crime levels are average.
This home will suit commuters and professionals seeking a stylish, low-upkeep base near St Albans station and good local schools. It’s chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, offering attractive short-to-medium term rental potential or comfortable long-term owner-occupation with modest maintenance obligations.
