This ground-floor, two-bedroom flat in Prestatyn Close offers practical, low-maintenance living with a long lease and chain-free purchase. At 484 sq ft, the layout is compact and well-suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking an easy-to-manage property close to Stevenage Old Town and Lister Hospital.
Internally the flat has a generous living room, a compact fitted kitchen and two modest bedrooms. Windows on multiple aspects provide reasonable natural light. There is no private garden; outdoor space is communal. The building is a modern, three-storey brick block built in 1995 and appears well maintained.
Running costs are influenced by electric room heaters and mains electricity as the primary fuel source, which can be more expensive than gas. The property is leasehold with 120 years remaining; annual charges are Ground Rent £250 and Service Charge £780 (below average). These predictable costs and the long lease provide security for mortgage lenders and buyers.
Location is a clear asset: it is walking distance to local shops, Old Town amenities and Lister Hospital, with off-street communal parking and excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds. The flat suits someone wanting a straightforward, move-in option with potential rental yield, but buyers should expect higher heating costs and limited internal space.
