Summary - 8 BARNSIDE COURT, WELWYN GARDEN CITY AL8 6TL
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Sunny south-facing living room with private patio and garden access.
Chain free with new 99-year lease on completion
Bright, ground-floor retirement apartment positioned on the west side of Welwyn Garden City, offered chain free with a new 99-year lease on completion. The living room faces south and opens onto a private patio that leads to well-kept communal gardens, creating a peaceful outdoor spot for morning sun and easy access to green space.
Designed for over-55s, the layout is compact and practical across roughly 492 sq ft, with a comfortable living room, one double bedroom and a straightforward kitchen and bathroom. Electric storage heaters provide warmth and double glazing is fitted, but the heating relies on individual electric supply rather than a communal system.
The flat’s clear strengths are its ground-floor convenience, outside space, and long new lease which removes an immediate leasehold concern. Buyers should note the development records a very high local crime statistic—prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications. The property is well placed for local amenities and fast broadband, making it suitable for staying connected and comfortable in later life.
This home suits downsizers seeking a low-maintenance base with garden access and sunny living space. While in good condition overall, the apartment is best for those who prioritise location, outside space and lease length over large internal floor area.
