A bright, practical two-bedroom apartment with private terrace and allocated off-street parking, ideal for a first-time buyer looking to step onto the property ladder. The open-plan living area benefits from large windows and contemporary finishes, while two double bedrooms include an ensuite to the main bedroom and a fully tiled family bathroom.
Sold as a 45% shared ownership (full value £325,000), the home carries a monthly rent of £556.65 plus a service charge of about £149.70. The 118-year lease remaining and EPC rating B give long-term security and reasonable running costs, but purchasers should budget for ongoing service charges and the rent element of the tenure.
Location is a major practical advantage: under a 10-minute walk to Welwyn Garden City town centre and station, and only minutes from Aldi, Tesco Express and local amenities. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home; nearby primary and secondary schools include several rated Good by Ofsted.
Buyers should note the wider area shows signs of deprivation and above-average crime rates; this may affect resale profile and lettings in the short term. Shared ownership limits full ownership until further staircasing, and the property is leasehold — independent legal and financial advice is recommended before committing.
