A stylish ground floor one bedroom apartment, forming part of a contemporary modern development, just moments from the City centre and the mainline railway station.
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom apartment is situated in the Newsom Place development in St Albans, Hertfordshire, conveniently located near the city centre and St Albans City train station (0.5km). The development is also close to a number of highly-rated schools, including Loreto College (Outstanding Ofsted rating), Maple Primary School (Good), and Alban City School (Good), enhancing its appeal to families. The apartment itself is modern, presenting a well-maintained interior, featuring a contemporary open-plan kitchen and living area, a comfortable bedroom, and a clean bathroom. Images show a modern, stylish interior. However, the property’s main limitation is its very small plot size, lacking a private garden. This is common in apartment buildings but might be a drawback for some buyers. The listed price of £285,000 seems relatively competitive when compared to other similar properties in the area, although conclusive data on the area’s average price per square foot is not available. The inclusion of parking and access to communal facilities (such as the gym shown in photos) should be considered when evaluating overall value. The lack of explicit information regarding parking and the specifics of any shared amenities, coupled with some relatively higher-priced nearby properties, suggests further market research to verify its value. Overall, this property represents an appealing option for those seeking a modern, convenient, and well-located apartment in St. Albans but with the caveat of limited outdoor space. Buyers should determine their specific priorities and research similar properties further to make a fully-informed decision.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
