A bright, well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development. The layout includes a generous living/dining room, separate modern kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a contemporary level-access shower room. Underfloor heating throughout adds consistent comfort.
The development is aimed at over-70s and provides on-site support: an Estate Manager, a 24-hour dedicated team, a chef-run restaurant, communal lounge, games room, guest suite and landscaped gardens. These communal facilities and optional care packages make day-to-day living low-maintenance and sociable for downsizers seeking convenience and companionship.
Practical points are straightforward: the lease has about 113 years remaining, car parking spaces are available to rent, and the apartment benefits from 24-hour CCTV and a secure entry system. Buyers should note the annual service charge (£9,851.52) is high and broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect streaming or home connectivity needs.
This apartment suits a buyer looking to downsize into a supportive, low-maintenance setting close to Welwyn Garden City’s shops and transport links. It offers immediate move-in readiness with potential to personalise, while being clear about running costs and some local limitations.
