Light, well‑appointed and purpose-built for over-60s living, this one-bedroom apartment at Peel Court sits in the heart of Welwyn Garden City’s west side. The flat benefits from underfloor heating throughout, a strong EPC B rating and lift access to all floors — practical comforts that suit downsizers seeking a low‑maintenance home close to shops and transport.
The layout provides a bright living/dining area, a generous bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a sizeable bathroom. At about 654 sq ft the apartment feels larger than many retirement flats, and the communal lounge and landscaped grounds expand your living space for socialising and quiet moments alike.
Be clear on the running costs and local limitations: the service charge is £8,892 pa (covers communal utilities, 24‑hour emergency call, cleaning and building insurance), ground rent £435 pa and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Parking is by permit (from around £250/yr). The lease started in 2013 and has about 113 years remaining.
This property is best for a buyer prioritising location, convenience and community life over low ongoing costs. It will suit someone who values easy access to John Lewis, Waitrose, the library and the town centre, and who is comfortable with higher service charges in exchange for comprehensive communal services and security features.
