This fifth-floor, one-bedroom apartment sits in the town centre of Stevenage, a short walk from the mainline station and local shops. The flat offers a generous open-plan living/kitchen area, a double bedroom with room for wardrobes, and a modern three-piece bathroom — useful for first-time buyers or commuters seeking low-maintenance central living.
The building provides secure communal entry with an on-site concierge, post room and an underground communal bike store. Interiors are finished in a contemporary neutral style with double glazing and electric heating via boiler and radiators; the living area is the apartment’s main asset, giving flexible space for lounge and dining.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (about 115 years remaining) with a ground rent of £225 and possible additional leasehold/admin fees. There’s no private outdoor space and the surrounding neighbourhood is classed as higher-crime with constrained local conditions — factors to weigh for long-term suitability.
Presented chain-free, the flat is well-suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a town-centre base with good transport links. Budget for ongoing service/leasehold costs and consider the urban setting when deciding if this central location fits your plans.
