Summary - 29 BARNSIDE COURT WELWYN GARDEN CITY AL8 6TL
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact two-bedroom apartment overlooking communal gardens, ideal for downsizers.
Top (first) floor retirement flat with lift-free stair access
A light first-floor retirement apartment in Barnside Court, set within well-kept communal gardens and close to Welwyn Garden City town centre. The layout delivers an airy reception room, two bedrooms with fitted storage and a recently updated shower room, all arranged around a practical entrance hallway with useful airing cupboard. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry room, on-site house manager and secure key-fob entry, with residents and visitor parking around the development.
This chain-free leasehold home is aimed at buyers seeking a low-maintenance retirement base or downsizer wanting easy access to local amenities and transport. The property’s compact footprint and electric storage heating suit those who prioritise convenience over large living spaces. The 89-year lease remaining is acceptable but should be checked for any service charges and retirement-specific terms before committing.
Notable practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is not served by a communal fuel system; broadband speeds are slow; and the wider area records very high local crime statistics. These are material considerations for daily running costs, connectivity and personal security. The flat does, however, offer an updated shower, double glazing, an emergency pull-cord system and a peaceful outlook over communal gardens and parking.
