Two double bedrooms are joined by a separate study, a lounge/dining room with room, a fitted kitchen, and both a shower room and a separate WC. That combination gives the layout a practicality that suits first-time buyers and investors alike. The elevated position also gives the main rooms an outlook across the surrounding rooftops and trees, with Royston's town amenities and mainline station close at hand.</p><p>Upon entering, a long central hall runs the length of the apartment, with storage cupboards along its length and a further room off the hall providing useful additional storage. At the far end, the lounge/dining room has space for both a full seating arrangement and a dining table, with a window drawing in natural light and a door through to the study. The study has its own window and provides a quiet, separate space for working or hobbies. The kitchen is arranged in a U-shape with white traditional-style units, including cabinets, grey worktops and a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink. There is space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine. It is functional and well laid out. <br/><br/>Through to the sleeping quarters, both bedrooms are genuine doubles of similar proportions, each with a window. Bedroom one benefits from built-in wardrobes behind sliding doors. The shower room is fitted with a shower enclosure and wash basin, and the separate WC with its own window is a practical advantage when sharing. Outside, the block sits within well-tended communal grounds laid mainly to lawn with planted borders, and unallocated residents' parking is available. This is a well-proportioned apartment whose space is best appreciated in person.

It grew from the crossing of two ancient thoroughfares, Roman and prehistoric, and carries a wealth of rich heritage — including its own cave, revealed in the 18th Century, carved out of chalk beneath the crossroads in the centre of town. The town enjoys numerous green open spaces, including the renowned Therfield Heath nature reserve, and lies on the northern slopes of the Hertfordshire Chalk Downs. The town centre offers a market and a high street of bustling shops alongside a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, bars and public houses, with supermarkets on the outskirts, doctors' surgeries, dentists, schools and a leisure centre. Clubs and activities range from tennis and rugby to hockey and golf. Transport links are excellent: the town sits on the A10, with the A1M and M11 each within a 15-minute drive, and a mainline station running direct to London Kings Cross in as little as 38 minutes.</p><br/>EPC Rating: C
