This well-presented fifth-floor apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living with useful communal amenities. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright and airy, with bi-folding doors that extend the living space onto a generous balcony — a valuable outdoor retreat for a compact one-bedroom home. Engineered oak flooring, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a modern fully tiled bathroom give the flat a contemporary feel.
Residents benefit from allocated gated parking, lift access, on-site concierge, CCTV and a residents’ gym, making daily life convenient for commuters and those seeking a managed development. The property sits around a mile from Borehamwood & Elstree Thameslink station with good road links to the A1, M1 and M25, and local shops and schools within easy reach.
Practical considerations are clear and important for any buyer: the home uses electric room heaters (no gas central heating), the area records higher-than-average crime levels, and the internal area is compact at approximately 485 sq ft. The apartment is leasehold with around 116 years remaining; annual service charge is about £2,600 and ground rent £350 — factor these into running costs.
Overall this apartment will suit first-time buyers wanting a low-maintenance city/suburban base or investors targeting rental demand. It presents immediate move-in condition with straightforward rental or owner-occupier appeal, but buyers should be comfortable with the compact size, electric heating and the ongoing service charges.
