Set on the first floor of a small, well-maintained development, this two-bedroom apartment offers practical living for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The open-plan lounge/diner and well-appointed kitchen make efficient use of the 567 sq ft, while a Juliet balcony and communal gardens add a pleasant outlook. A private garage and an allocated parking space are valuable extras for this location.
The property is presented in good condition throughout with double glazing and modern fittings, and benefits from fast broadband and low local crime. St Margaret’s/Stanstead Abbotts station and village amenities are within walking distance, giving reliable commuter links and local convenience.
Important lease information: the current lease stands at 64 years, which may deter some mortgage lenders. The sellers state they are in the process of extending the lease to approximately 163 years on completion — buyers should verify the completion of that extension and confirm lender acceptability before committing. Additional leasehold costs such as lease packs may apply.
Practical details to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, and there is an annual service charge and ground rent. The apartment’s compact footprint suits buyers seeking a manageable home or an investment with rental potential rather than someone needing large rooms or extensive outdoor space.
