Summary - THE ROOF GARDENS, 118 FLAT 9 EXCHANGE ROAD WATFORD WD18 0QU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom flat with parking in Watford town centre, long lease and share of freehold.
Open-plan living with compact modern kitchen
A bright, well-presented 1-bedroom flat occupying a roof-garden level in the heart of Watford town centre. The open-plan living and kitchen area creates a flowing, practical space for daily life and entertaining, while a spacious bedroom receives good natural light. The property sits within a mid-terrace building constructed in the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating.
Practical features include an off-street parking space — a useful rarity for town-centre flats — fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Leasehold ownership is comfortable: share of freehold with a very long lease (around 900 years) and no ground rent. Service charges are about £1,800 per year; council tax band B is described as cheap.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking town-centre convenience, easy access to shops, transport and local schools. It also has straightforward rental appeal for investors given the location and nearby amenities.
Notable drawbacks are the electric storage heating (higher running costs than gas central heating in some cases) and the building’s inner-city setting, which records a very high crime statistic — buyers should consider security and insurance implications. The apartment is compact in places (small kitchen and open-plan living) and, while presented well, offers limited scope for major reconfiguration without investment.
