We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A beautifully refurbished GROUND FLOOR maisonette, occupying a desirable ground floor, end-of-row position with its own PRIVATE ENTRANCE and attractive communal gardens.
Situated in the heart of Marshalswick, this stylish and thoughtfully updated home offers contemporary, low-maintenance living in a highly convenient location.
The property is ideally positioned within easy walking distance of the shops and amenities at The Quadrant, highly regarded local schools and is just a short commute from St Albans City Station, providing excellent links for commuters.
Having recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, the property has been transformed to create a modern and welcoming home, with all new electrics and plumbing, together with a high standard of fit and finish throughout.
The accommodation centres around a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, creating an excellent social and entertaining area.
Large windows overlook the well-maintained communal gardens, allowing the room to feel bright, spacious and connected to the surrounding greenery.
The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, complemented by a stylishly refitted shower room.
Occupying an end-of-row position, the property benefits from an enhanced sense of privacy and a quieter setting, whilst its own front door provides the feel and convenience of a private home rather than a traditional communal apartment.
The property is offered for sale with no onward chain, making it particularly appealing to buyers looking for a straightforward purchase.
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully refurbished home in a sought-after St Albans location, equally suited to a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor.
