About this property

This exceptional apartment, situated on the sixth floor of the prestigious Opus House, offers two double bedrooms, one of which includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Its standout feature is the remarkable inclusion of three balconies, each oriented differently-north-east, west, and south-allowing an uninterrupted flow of natural light throughout the day and offering diverse outlooks across the city. The heart of this home is a spacious and bright open-plan living/kitchen/dining area, seamlessly extending onto the balconies-perfect for afternoon gatherings on the west-facing one, or evening sun on the south-facing terrace.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In St Albans, 2026/27 bills run from £1,613 a year in band A to £4,838 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across St Albans, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
