Top-floor modern two-bedroom apartment with private balcony
A modern top-floor two-bedroom shared ownership apartment offering a low-entry route to ownership in Welwyn Garden City. The open-plan kitchen/living room opens onto a private balcony, and the principal bedroom includes an en suite; allocated off-street parking and a long lease (approx. 118 years) add practical value. Offered chain-free, the property is available as a 25% share for £85,000 (rent on the unsold share approx. £731.96pcm) or to purchase outright at the full market value of £340,000.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable foothold close to transport links: Welwyn Garden City station is about 0.7 miles on foot, with fast services to London. Nearby amenities include shops (Waitrose, John Lewis), Stanborough Lakes, Gosling Sports Park and local leisure and cultural facilities.
Buyers should note the material obligations: this is a shared ownership leasehold with estimated service charges of about £152.98pcm (annual average shown £1,835.76) and eligibility criteria apply if buying the shared route (income cap, deposit and residency requirements). The area scores higher for crime and ranks as deprived in local indicators, so purchasers should consider neighbourhood factors alongside the transport and amenity benefits.
Overall, the apartment offers a contemporary, low-maintenance home with clear commuter appeal and long-term potential to staircase to a larger share, balanced by shared-ownership costs and local area challenges.
