Summary - 9 CHURCH LANE ROYSTON SG8 9LG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Buy-to-let opportunity minutes from the train station and town amenities.
Chain-free, long lease (approx. 156–189 years remaining)
Situated in the heart of Royston, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance layout ideal for a buy-to-let or first independent buyer. The property is chain-free and benefits from a long lease (approx. 156–189 years from 1990), double glazing and a D/70 energy rating — practical elements that reduce immediate landlord obligations.
The accommodation is small and arranged as an efficient studio-style plan with a separate kitchen, bathroom and additional WC. Presentation is dated and cosmetic updating is likely required, but the straightforward floorplan and town-centre location support steady rental demand, especially given the nearby mainline station and wide range of local amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, the building dates from the 1980s, and the unit shows signs of wear and some damp in areas. There is no private outdoor space and outside areas are limited to a small communal paved courtyard. The property sits in an area recorded with higher crime levels — factor this into rental expectations and insurance costs.
Overall, this is a practical, low-entry-point investment in a highly accessible market. For a purchaser prepared to refresh the interior and manage electric-heating accommodation, the apartment offers straightforward letting potential and minimal external maintenance responsibility.
