About
Originally built by the respected local developers Jarvis of Harpenden, No. 1 Marlborough Park has been thoughtfully converted from a two-storey office building into six luxury apartments.
This two double bedroom apartment offers contemporary living with high-quality finishes throughout.
Neutrally decorated and flooded with natural light, the unfurnished apartment boasts a bright and spacious open-plan living/kitchen area.
The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and finished to a sleek, modern standard. Both bright and airy bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, making excellent use of space.
The generously sized bathroom includes a large shower cubicle and a heated towel rail.
The apartment benefits from USB charging ports and hardwired broadband fibre BT Openreach has recently upgraded the infrastructure, offering the potential for ultra-fast internet speeds depending on the selected provider and package.
Externally, the property includes two allocated parking spaces equipped with one EV charging point.
Southdown Road is a convenient central setting that provides a wonderful convenience for any stage of life.
Close to the open spaces of Harpenden Common, the scenery is superb and changes with the seasons.
Harpenden Town centre with its diverse range of shops and restaurants are just a short idyllic stroll over the common along with the mainline station (Direct to St Pancras International in under 30 minutes).
