Summary - 9 Elder Court, Mead Lane, HERTFORD SG13 7GD
2 bed 1 bath Flat
First-floor river-view apartment with private balcony and secure parking, minutes from Hertford East.
Chain free with 200-year lease and no ground rent
A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment with expansive river and Hartham Common views, offered chain free and with a long 200-year lease and no ground rent. The open-plan living room and fitted kitchen open onto a wrap-around private balcony, providing excellent natural light and outdoor space for riverside views and walks on the doorstep. Lift access and an allocated underground parking space add everyday convenience for commuters and town-centre trips.
The flat is compact (circa 585 sq ft) and practical: modern double glazing, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a contemporary bathroom. Tenure is leasehold with approximately 200 years remaining; the current service charge is around £1,738 pa and council tax is moderate. Built in the late 2000s and sited a short walk from Hertford East station, it suits buyers wanting a low-maintenance, well-located base.
Notable considerations: heating is electric (panel heaters/room heaters), so running costs will be higher than gas-heated properties. The site has a medium flooding risk — buyers should confirm insurance and mitigation requirements. The property is small in overall size, so it’s best for couples, first-time buyers or investors rather than growing families who need extensive space.
Local amenities, good schools and fast broadband make this a strong commuter or rental prospect. The riverside setting and long lease give genuine longevity and resale appeal, while the service charge and electric heating are realistic ongoing costs to factor into affordability calculations.
