This one-bedroom, open-plan flat sits within a modern apartment block close to Welwyn Garden City centre. Bright living space, double glazing and lift access make it low-maintenance and easy to live in for a single occupant or couple. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens add practical value in a town-centre location.
The property is sold leasehold with around 118–122 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £1,680 (£140/month). Heating is electric with a boiler and underfloor system — efficient for a modern flat but likely to cost more than gas in high-use months. Council tax is low (Band B).
Local details are mixed: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good primary and secondary schools nearby. However the wider area shows higher-than-average crime and relative deprivation, so buyers should consider local context and ongoing running costs alongside the flat’s convenience and low upkeep.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment suited to first-time buyers or investors who want a ready-to-rent or easy-to-own urban home. The long lease and communal facilities make it straightforward to manage; buyers wanting larger living space or a private garden should look elsewhere.
