Affordable starter home close to Old Town and transport links.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom apartment
A compact, chain-free ground-floor apartment positioned a short walk from Stevenage Old Town. The flat is practical and economical: fitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing, laminate flooring and communal grounds reduce maintenance. With excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, it suits someone who wants a low-entry purchase close to shops, cafés and transport links.
The property is small (approx. 302 sq ft) and laid out as a one-bedroom home with modest room sizes. Heating is electric via room heaters, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes; the accommodation is tidy but basic, and a cosmetic refresh would personalise the space. There is no private garden and outlooks are standard urban/rear-aspect.
Leasehold details are straightforward for an apartment of this age: about 115 years remaining, service charge circa £780 per year and ground rent £300 per year. These two costs should be factored into affordability calculations, though council tax is very low. Good road links (A1(M)) and Stevenage station make the flat practical for commuters and attractive as a buy-to-let starter investment.
Overall, this home will appeal to first-time buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance introduction to property ownership or investors looking for a simple, ready-to-let one-bedroom apartment. Its compact footprint and electric heating are the main limitations, offset by the chain-free sale and convenient location.
