Ovaltine Court, Ovaltine Drive, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire

Set within the landmark former Ovaltine factory, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home has something most apartments simply can’t replicate: a position right beside the Grand Union Canal, combined with the character and history of one of the area’s most recognisable buildings.

Inside, the apartment extends to approximately 706 sq ft, with a layout that makes particularly good use of the space.

The main living area is the heart of the home. Measuring over 23ft at its longest point, the kitchen, dining and reception space is open-plan, giving you plenty of room to cook, eat and properly settle in rather than feeling like everything has been squeezed into one room. The kitchen sits neatly to one end, leaving the rest of the space open for dining and seating.

Both bedrooms are good sizes. The principal bedroom measures approximately 12'11 x 10'2 and has its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is approximately 13' x 8'. A separate bathroom serves the rest of the apartment, giving you the increasingly useful combination of two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

But it’s the setting that gives Ovaltine Court its real identity.

The old Ovaltine building is a piece of local history and remains instantly recognisable, while the canal alongside brings a completely different pace of life. Step outside and you can be walking or cycling along the towpath within moments — whether that means a weekend wander, an evening walk or simply swapping the road for the canal on the way into the village.

Kings Langley itself is close by, with its High Street, cafés, pubs and independent shops, while the station makes the location equally appealing for those needing to travel further afield.

For anyone looking for an apartment that feels a little less ordinary, 23 Ovaltine Court combines the ease of apartment living with a setting that is unmistakably Kings Langley.
