Property Insight Tucked into Rivermill Court, a characterful converted mill building set around a quiet block-paved courtyard, this first-floor apartment sits within easy walking distance of both Royston town centre and the mainline station.
What sets it apart is the space - a shade over 1,000 sq ft, a footprint more commonly found in a house than a flat, all arranged over a single level.
Three double bedrooms, a generous open-plan living room and a separate kitchen give the accommodation genuine flexibility, whether for a growing family, professionals sharing, or a buyer trading a house for something more manageable.
Presented in move-in order throughout and offered with a long lease of 960 years remaining, it is a rare proposition at this level.
A part-glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, laid with wood affect flooring that runs throughout the main living spaces.
From here the accommodation flows into a bright, open-plan lounge and dining room, generously proportioned with a window to the front and easy room for full-size seating, a dining table and a play corner for younger members of the household.
A wide opening links the living space to the kitchen, which is fitted with timber shaker-style units, dark stone-effect worktops and an integrated Neff oven, alongside an electric hob, chimney-style extractor and space for freestanding appliances.
Together they form a sociable, connected heart to the home that lives noticeably larger than most apartments of its type.
Off the hall lie three well-proportioned bedrooms, the principal a particularly spacious double with fitted wardrobes and a dressing area, along with a further separate play room - a genuinely useful extra for family buyers or anyone needing a home-office nook.
Serving the bedrooms is a smart four-piece bathroom, fully tiled and fitted with a bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and pedestal basin.
Outside, the property comes with allocated parking & communal bike storage within the courtyard, and residents share a neat lawned area to the rear.
A rare combination of scale and position in the heart of Royston, and one that rewards an early viewing. At a Glance Type: First-floor apartment, leasehold with over 900 years remaining Size: Approx.

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.
