Chalk Hill, Watford, WD19

Situated on Chalk Hill, this one-bedroom maisonette extends to 656 sq.ft and has been finished with real conviction. Bushey Station lies 0.20 miles away, with fast services reaching London Euston in approximately 17 minutes, and both Oxhey Village and Bushey High Street sit within a short walk. Entry is from the rear, through the garden and in at the front door, where a storage cupboard sits immediately to the right and a hall gives on to every room. The current owners have taken a line closer to brutalism than to decoration (at its most emphatic in the kitchen, with its gloss black cabinetry, dark worktops and original tile floors).

To the left is the bathroom, tiled floor to ceiling in white run through with a black marble vein, holding a freestanding tub with a shower over. A second cupboard sits beyond it, tucked beneath the stairs rising to the maisonette above. The kitchen is to the right and measures 13'3" x 10'6", generous by the standards of any one-bedroom home and a size that would not feel undersized in a house. It wraps the room in a near U, with a breakfast bar formed as part of the same unbroken worktop. The fridge-freezer, oven and grill are integrated, the hob is gas, and the splashback is a mosaic of small squares shifting between red, orange and taupe. The living room lies at the far end of the plan, facing the road, and runs to 16'3" x 10'6", with a single large window that carries light well into the room. The bedroom completes the accommodation: a true double, with room for freestanding wardrobes without the space closing in. A buyer may want to make their own additions, though nothing needs doing to move in.

The garden lies to the rear, fully paved and close to maintenance-free, and doubles as the approach to the front door. An allocated parking space comes with the property, uncommon at this level and worth more here than in most places, given how short the walk to the station is.

The lease was extended in 2025 and now runs 189 years from 1985, leaving 148 years unexpired, with the ground rent reduced to a peppercorn of £1 a year. Both are settled matters rather than costs a buyer inherits.
