A ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in a gated Watford development, offered with no onward chain. The flat offers practical living space with a sizable reception room, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms — a straightforward layout suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental income. Long lease remaining and an included private garage add clear ownership and letting advantages.
This property is sold via Modern Auction: an undisclosed reserve price applies and buyers will pay a non-refundable reservation fee plus additional buyer fees. Interested purchasers should factor auction timescales, the reservation agreement and the extra costs into their budgeting and allow time for mortgage and legal checks.
The block dates from the mid-20th century and the apartment shows signs of age; the interior is functional but will likely benefit from updating to maximise value. Service charge and council tax are reasonable for the area, and parking, communal gardens and a private garage are useful extras. Note the local area records very high crime levels — prospective buyers should assess security, insurance costs and suitability for their plans.
Location is a strong practical selling point: the flat sits within walking distance of Watford Junction and High Street stations, the Atria Centre and local amenities, with good road links to the A41, M25 and M1. For buyers seeking a manageable, chain-free purchase with rental or starter-home potential, this apartment offers immediate access to town-centre convenience and commuter connections.
