This spacious ground-floor apartment combines generous Edwardian proportions with a large private rear garden, offering rare outside space for a one-bedroom flat. High ceilings, a bay-fronted living room and original features give genuine period character, while the fitted kitchen and bathroom are ready for everyday use. The property is sold with the freehold and a long lease (circa 999 years), providing ownership security often sought by first-time buyers.
Practical positives include gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002), off-street hardstanding parking and excellent digital connectivity, with fast broadband and strong mobile signal. North Watford station and local schools are within easy reach, and major roads (M1, A41, M25) are nearby, making this a convenient base for commuting or work-from-home routines.
Notable considerations: the building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, which can mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. The double glazing predates 2002 and may not perform to current standards. Local crime levels are above average for the area, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision. Overall, the flat offers character and outside space with scope for improving thermal efficiency and modern comfort.
