Stunning 1-Bed Penthouse with Wraparound Terrace – 2 Mins from Watford Junction

Available 1 September 2026 | Furnished 

A rare opportunity to rent a true penthouse apartment crowning the sought-after Watford Cross development. With a private terrace that wraps around the entire flat, giving you panoramic views over the town and outdoor space on every side, perfect for morning coffee in the sun, al fresco dinners and get togethers or lounging in the sun. 

Add a two-minute walk to Watford Junction with trains reaching London Euston in just 16 minutes - and you have one of the fastest commutes into central London available anywhere outside Zone 1, at a fraction of inner-London rents.

Why this penthouse won't hang around
  • Wraparound private terrace - outdoor space encircling the whole apartment, with views across Watford. Almost unheard of in a one-bed rental.
  • True penthouse living - top (9th) floor with lift access, plus access to an additional communal rooftop terrace. 
  • 2-minute walk to Watford Junction - roll out of bed and onto the platform.
  • Super-fast commute - London Euston in 16 minutes, King's Cross in around 20, Harrow & Wealdstone in 6, Wembley Central in 11, and Birmingham in an hour. Ideal for young professionals or couples working in the city.
The location
  • Watford town centre is a 10-minute walk away. Following major investment in the High Street, it's a genuinely great place to shop, dine and socialise, with trendy restaurants, bars, theatres, cinemas and parks on your doorstep.
  • Cassiobury Park - a 10-minute walk to Watford's largest green space: over 190 acres stretching from the town centre westwards, perfect for long walks, runs and summer days out.
  • Warner Bros. Studio (Harry Potter) - just a 13-minute drive to the world-famous studios, with original sets, props and costumes from the films.
  • Sport and fitness - Watford Leisure Centre nearby offers a state-of-the-art gym and six-lane pool, and Vicarage Road, home of Watford FC, is close at hand.

Tenant Preference

Student Friendly
Families Allowed

The landlord has indicated they are unable to accept families.

Landlords are only able to refuse applicants on this basis where one of the following exceptions applies:

  • They are subject to a contract of insurance entered into prior to 1 May 2026 which restricts occupation by children and which has not been renewed or varied on or after that date; or
  • The characteristics of the property (such as size, layout, or safety features) mean that restricting occupation by children is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The landlord has confirmed that one of these exceptions applies.

You can still submit an enquiry if you wish to be considered for this property.

Pets Allowed
The landlord has stated that there may be grounds on which a request to keep a pet could be refused. If you enter into a tenancy agreement with this landlord you are still entitled to request permission to keep a pet, and the landlord may only refuse your request where they have a reasonable basis for doing so.
Smokers Allowed
DSS/LHA Covers Rent
