This compact fourth-floor apartment offers a practical, well-equipped starter home a very short walk from Stevenage mainline station and local amenities. The open-plan living space, integrated white goods and private balcony maximise usable space for comfortable city living. With 116 years remaining on the lease and below-average service charge, it’s straightforward to manage financially for a first home or buy-to-let.
Note the apartment is small (379 sq ft) and sits in a neighbourhood with higher crime and pronounced area deprivation; buyers should weigh local context and personal security preferences. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators, which may produce higher running costs than gas in some cases. Ground rent and service charge are modest but ongoing commitments.
For first-time buyers this property represents an affordable entry into Stevenage town centre, benefiting from excellent transport links to London and immediate access to supermarkets, shops and leisure. The flat is move-in ready with integrated appliances, but limited space means it’s best suited to singles or couples rather than families. Investors should factor in the local socio-economic indicators when considering rental demand and yields.
