This well-presented top-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Welwyn Garden City, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a compact, move-in-ready home. The open-plan living area and modern fitted kitchen create a bright, practical space for daily life and entertaining. Two air-conditioning units provide year-round comfort and the property overlooks the town green and fountain, offering a pleasant outlook from the rear windows.
Practical points are clear: the flat is chain-free and comes with 144 years remaining on the lease, making it a straightforward purchase. Integrated kitchen appliances, a contemporary bathroom with heated towel rails, and good broadband and mobile signals add to the convenience. There is an option to buy a parking permit for nearby Hunters Bridge car park if you need a car.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 325 sq ft, so space is best suited to single occupancy or couples. Annual service charges (£2,114) and a ground rent (£250) apply, and the immediate area records very high crime levels, which may affect insurance costs and personal security perceptions. Despite these factors, the central location and proximity to the station make this a strong option for commuters and investors targeting rental demand.
