The property is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located in a central Watford location at The Arches, Lower High Street, WD17 2HX. The apartment is part of a modern development, as shown in the provided photos. The apartment’s location is convenient, with nearby access to Bushey Overground station (0.35km) providing links to London Euston. Watford High Street station (0.77km) and Watford Junction (2.01km) offer additional transport options. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including Bushey And Oxhey Infant School (0.67km), rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to Lower High Street suggests access to local shops and amenities. Based on the images, the apartment appears to be in good condition, with a modern, recently renovated finish. The kitchen and bathroom are contemporary in style and well-maintained. However, some areas show signs of being lived in, with personal belongings visible in several rooms. The property lacks a private garden or significant outdoor space. The balcony offers a limited external area with a view of a car park and industrial buildings. Considering the list price of £454,000, the average price in the area is £259,400, and the average price per sqft is £308. The property’s size of 482 sqft is significantly smaller than the area average of 840 sqft. Nearby comparable properties, such as those on Frogmore Avenue, are listed at higher prices, but their sizes are not provided. The lack of plot size and the smaller size of the property compared to the area average suggest that the price may be on the higher end for the size, but the central location and modern condition could justify the higher cost per sqft. More information on the sizes of comparable properties would be needed for a more conclusive price analysis.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
