Property Insight
Set within a well-maintained development a short walk from Royston town centre and its mainline station, this first-floor apartment offers something unusually settled for a flat at this level — a share of the freehold, a 948-year lease, and its own garage, all offered with no onward chain.
The lounge/dining room runs across the front of the apartment and stays bright through the day, with sliding doors opening onto a private balcony that looks out over the green and parkland opposite. The kitchen sits just off it, fitted with cream shaker-style units, dark stone-effect worktops and a tiled splashback, with a built-in oven and ceramic hob, fridge,dishwasher and a window to the rear. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles: the principal is a notably generous room with a bank of fitted wardrobes and a leafy outlook, with a second well-proportioned double alongside. A modern shower room with a large walk-in shower, white gloss vanity and heated towel rail serves the apartment.
Outside, the development is set in established communal gardens, laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs and a sunny, open aspect. Well kept throughout and neutrally presented, with scope for a new owner to put their own stamp on the décor, it makes a straightforward town-centre home or a sound investment.

Location - Royston
Royston is a traditional English town in Hertfordshire, on the border of Cambridgeshire and 14 miles from Cambridge. 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.
