Discover a modern one-bedroom apartment in Clarke House, part of the New-build Old Electricity Works development in central St Albans. The 612 sq ft open-plan home offers a private balcony, integrated designer kitchen with quartz worktops and fully tiled bathroom — finished to a high specification and ideal for comfortable city living.
Residents benefit from concierge service, landscaped communal gardens and allocated off-street parking for convenience. The location is very walkable — about 0.6 miles (roughly 12 minutes) from St Albans City station with direct trains to London, and the town centre’s shops, restaurants and amenities are easily accessible.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: this is a leasehold flat (999-year lease) with an average service charge of £1,698 per year. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, and broadband speeds in the building are reported as very slow — factors to note for monthly running costs and working-from-home needs.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-specified central home or an investor after a new-build one-bed in an affluent commuter town. The property’s quality finishes and communal facilities deliver lifestyle appeal, while the service charge, electric heating and slow broadband are realistic trade-offs to weigh before viewing.
