The Arches, Watford, WD17

This beautifully finished one-bedroom apartment is situated within The Arches - one of Watford’s most design-forward and well-connected developments. Delivered by St William (part of the Berkeley Group) and completed in early 2021, The Arches has quickly established itself as a sought-after address for professionals and investors alike, thanks to its impeccable build quality, smart design, and prime location. Just a short walk from Bushey Station, with direct trains to London Euston in under 20 minutes, and surrounded by greenery, independent cafés and restaurants, this is a place where convenience and calm exist in perfect balance.

Accessed via a secure communal entrance with both lift and stair access, the apartment opens into a wide, inviting hallway, setting the tone for the space within - clean lines, generous proportions and a natural sense of flow. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area is a highlight. Full-height white uPVC French doors frame the space beautifully, opening onto a private balcony; a sun-drenched spot ideal for relaxing, entertaining or working from home. The kitchen itself is sleek and smartly laid out, with neutral worktops, an integrated induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine, and a tall fridge-freezer all tucked seamlessly into the cabinetry. There’s ample storage above and below the counters, and the whole space is designed to be both functional and effortlessly stylish.

The principal bedroom offers both space and practicality, with fitted wardrobes spanning one wall and still plenty of room to add a desk or dressing area. The room benefits from soft natural light and a calming aspect, making it a perfect sanctuary at the end of the day. The bathroom is finished to a high standard with floor-to-ceiling tiles, modern sanitary ware and chrome fittings, echoing the understated elegance seen throughout the home. A generous internal storage cupboard adds another layer of practicality, ideal for coats, cleaning supplies, or seasonal items.

The apartment comes with a secure, gated and allocated parking space - a premium perk in a development so close to the station. For investors, this property presents a compelling opportunity. With its turn-key condition, enviable location, and rising rental demand in Watford, yields are strong and void periods minimal. It’s an ideal addition to any buy-to-let portfolio.
