Summary - 37, GEORGE HOUSE, PRIMETT ROAD SG1 3EE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance one-bedroom near Old Stevenage shops and communal facilities.
Walk-out balcony with pleasant communal roof terraces
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment designed for independent retirement living. The property benefits from a walk-out balcony, underfloor heating, modern fitted kitchen, and convenient mobility features such as a large walk-in wardrobe and an emergency 24-hour call system. Communal facilities include a homeowners’ lounge with east and west roof terraces, reading and function rooms, a guest suite and on-site House Manager during office hours.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 990 years), off-street parking with EV charging points, and a service package covering external maintenance, communal energy and building insurance. The apartment can be bought furnished at no extra cost and offers easy access to Old Stevenage shops, cafés and transport links to neighbouring towns.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £3,231.88 and ground rent of £425 per year (next review 2031). Broadband speeds are reported as slow and the local crime level is high — factors to weigh if regular internet use or perceived local security are priorities. Parking permits are subject to availability and an annual fee. Purchasers must meet the development’s minimum age requirement (60+).
This home will suit a downsizer seeking low-maintenance, community-centred living with on-site support and social spaces. It represents straightforward move-in-ready retirement accommodation but budget for service charges, ground rent and consider alternative broadband solutions if fast internet is essential.
