Summary - Leyton Road, Harpenden, AL5 AL5 2HU
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Ground-floor two-bed, en-suite and separate kitchen/dining room
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a small, gated development on Leyton Road with direct access into Rothamsted Park and convenient walking distance to the High Street. The layout is traditional and well-proportioned, with a large living room, separate kitchen/dining room, master bedroom with en-suite and a second double bedroom. Built by local developers between 2007–2011, the flat benefits from double glazing and gas-fired underfloor heating for comfortable, efficient living.
Practical strengths include one allocated off-street parking space, a long lease (approximately 112 years remaining), and chain-free sale which supports a quicker move. Local amenities are excellent: fast broadband and mobile signal, top-performing nearby schools, shops, cafés and transport links close by — a strong draw for families and professionals alike.
Buyers should note the running costs: an annual service charge of about £3,000 and ground rent of £200. Council tax is in an expensive band. The local area records very high crime levels, which will be an important consideration for purchasers. Overall, this apartment offers a convenient, low-maintenance base in a desirable Harpenden location but comes with ongoing communal costs and local safety concerns to weigh up.
