This compact top-floor studio in Prestatyn Close offers an affordable, low-maintenance entry into Stevenage’s Old Town. The layout provides a comfortable living area, separate kitchen and bathroom, and benefits from a long lease (125 years) and chain-free sale — features appealing to first-time buyers and buy-to-let purchasers.
Practical positives include on-site resident parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and an annual service charge of £780 (below average). Constructed in 1996 with double glazing and cavity walls, the building shows modern standards for thermal performance.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size (approximately 334 sq ft) and studio-style single-room accommodation; it will suit a single occupant, couple, or investor targeting the rental market rather than someone needing generous living space. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives.
There is no allocated parking bay for this flat and the communal grounds are limited. As a leasehold property, you’ll want to review the lease terms and service arrangements, though the remaining term (125 years) is long and ground rent is reportedly nil. Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located option for those prioritising location and low upkeep over space.
