NO UPPER CHAIN | 1,008 SQ FT | DUAL ASPECT | 129-YEAR LEASE | TWO BATHROOMS | TWO HOME OFFICES | ALLOCATED PARKING
A genuinely rare find: a top-floor, dual-aspect penthouse apartment offering over 1,000 sq ft of contemporary living space, larger than many three-bedroom houses in one of St Albans' most sought-after residential developments.
The headline figures speak for themselves. At 1,008 sq ft (94 sq m), this apartment sits significantly above the typical two-bedroom flat. The lease has 129 years remaining, the property is offered with no upper chain, and an allocated parking space is included. For buyers concerned about leasehold, this ticks every box.
The dual aspect is one of this apartment's most distinctive features. Natural light floods the home from two directions throughout the day something rarely found at this price point and virtually impossible to replicate. The result is a home that feels consistently bright, airy and open regardless of the time of day or season.
At the heart of the home is a spectacular dual-aspect kitchen, dining and living room.
A bright, open space that comfortably accommodates a generous lounge, a formal dining area, and critically for today's buyers, two fully integrated, dedicated home working stations. These are not afterthoughts: they are built into the layout so that two people can work from home simultaneously, in comfort, without encroaching on the living space. For hybrid workers and remote professionals, this is a genuine game-changer.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, while a second well-proportioned bedroom and a separate family bathroom provide flexibility for professionals, sharers or those downsizing without wanting to compromise on space.
The Highfield Park location is well-established and popular, offering easy access to St Albans city centre, excellent local schools, green open spaces and strong transport links. Day-to-day convenience is exceptional, with an on-site convenience store, secure cycle storage and the wider amenities of the AL4 postcode on the doorstep.
Please note: the apartment is located on the second floor and is accessed via stairs; there is no lift.
