A well-presented first-floor studio in Guernsey House, offering a smart, low-maintenance home close to Watford Metropolitan line. The L-shaped living/dining room with a defined sleeping area and separate fitted kitchen gives a clearer division of space than a typical open-plan studio. Neutral decor throughout means immediate move-in readiness or straightforward redecoration to personalise.
Practical running costs are clear: electric storage heating, double glazing, a long lease (approx. 158 years) and a service charge around £2,100pa. There is residents’ permitted off-street parking and access to tidy communal grounds, but no private garden. Council tax is described as cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for home working or digital renters.
Size is compact (approx. 420 sq ft) so the layout suits single occupation, a commuter, or a buy-to-let investor looking for a low-maintenance asset near transport links. Notable limitations are the electric heating (higher running costs than gas in some cases), the relatively high service charge for a small property, and the studio-style plan which provides less privacy than a one-bedroom flat. Buyers should check appliance and electrical condition and factor any additional leasehold pack fees.
In short: a tidy, well-located urban studio with ready rental or first-home appeal, best for buyers seeking convenience and low upkeep rather than expansive living space.
