<b>Service charge (For Leasehold tenure): £1700 per year.</b><br/><br/><p>Why buy this home?</p> <p>If you have been searching for an affordable way to step onto the property ladder in Berkhamsted, an investment opportunity, or simply a well located home of your own, this one bedroom apartment deserves your attention. Offered to the market chain free. </p> <p>Representing exceptional value for Berkhamsted, this recently redecorated ground floor apartment combines an accessible price point with something you might not expect at this level of the market: views across the Grand Union Canal.</p> <p>Step inside and the apartment feels bright, simple and ready to make your own. Having recently been redecorated, there is a fresh feel throughout and very little for the new owner to do other than unpack and settle in.</p> <p>The heart of the home is the impressive open plan reception room. It is a space that works equally well for quiet evenings at home, entertaining friends or working from the dining table, but it is the outlook that really gives the room its character.</p> <p>Beyond the windows, the Grand Union Canal provides an ever changing backdrop. Colourful narrow boats pass by, wildlife gathers along the water and the canal brings a sense of calm that feels surprisingly removed from the convenience of the town centre nearby.</p> <p>The bedroom provides a comfortable retreat away from the main living space, while the ground floor position makes the apartment particularly easy to access.</p> <p>Parking is available within the car park serving the block. Although there is no individual parking bay specifically allocated to the apartment, spaces are provided for residents of the building and the current owner advises that parking has never presented a problem.</p> <p>For buyers keeping a close eye on ongoing costs, the property also benefits from a 150 year lease, a service charge of approximately £1,700 per annum and peppercorn ground rent of £0.</p> <p>The location</p> <p>One of the real advantages of this apartment is just how much of Berkhamsted can be enjoyed on foot.</p> <p>The vibrant High Street is only a short walk away and offers an eclectic mix of independent shops, restaurants, wine bars and traditional public houses, alongside Waitrose, M&S and Tesco supermarkets.</p> <p>Berkhamsted's mainline railway station is also within walking distance, with services to London Euston taking as little as approximately 34 minutes, making the town an excellent option for commuters looking to combine convenient access to London with a more relaxed lifestyle.</p> <p>The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, including the National Trust administered Ashridge Estate, while the Grand Union Canal runs through the heart of Berkhamsted itself.</p> <p>There are a number of well regarded schools for children of all ages across both the state and independent sectors, while the A41 bypass provides excellent connections to the M25 and M1. Luton Airport is approximately 17 miles away and Heathrow Airport approximately 27 miles away.</p> <p>For a first time buyer, investor, commuter or someone simply looking for an affordable base in one of Hertfordshire's most desirable towns, this is an opportunity that is difficult to ignore.</p> <p>Important Notice</p> <p>General: While we strive to provide sales particulars that are fair, accurate and reliable, please be aware that they serve as a general guide to the property.
