A compact, well-presented one-bedroom flat ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property benefits from a brand-new extended lease of 125 years, low annual service charge (£780) and residents/off-street parking. It sits within walking distance of Stevenage Old Town High Street and the mainline station, making it convenient for the London commute.
Internally the flat is tidy and neutral in décor with a comfortably proportioned lounge, double bedroom and fitted kitchen. Heating is via electric storage heaters and windows are double glazed. The apartment’s overall footprint is small (approx. 431 sqft), so it suits a single occupant or couple wanting low-maintenance accommodation rather than larger family living.
Positives include the long lease, low running costs (Council Tax band B described as cheap), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus pleasant communal grounds. Notable considerations: the property is leasehold (125 years remaining), relies on electric storage heating, and internal space is limited — buyers seeking larger rooms or a private garden should look elsewhere.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-upkeep purchase with good rental or commuter appeal. It’s best suited to a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a small, easy-to-manage flat close to transport links.
