Summary - 20, Howarde Court SG1 3DF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Secure Old Town flat with allocated parking and strong transport links.
Chain‑free two-bedroom flat, 723 sq ft with open-plan living
Set within Howarde Court’s secure gated courtyard in Stevenage Old Town, this chain-free two-bedroom flat offers practical, contemporary living across an average-sized 723 sq ft footprint. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from good natural light, double glazing and gas central heating, making it an easy, low-effort home for first-time buyers or city commuters. Allocated off-street parking inside the gated development adds convenience and peace of mind.
The layout includes two well-proportioned bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, which provides en-suite-style access from the main bedroom and the hall. The property sits in a modern development completed post-2007 with timber-frame construction and insulated walls, so major structural renovation is unlikely in the near term. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for remote working and streaming.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 129 years remaining. Annual service charge and ground rent are notable: service charge approximately £1,656.84 and ground rent around £309.77. The development is in an area reported as having high crime levels, which prospective purchasers should investigate further and consider when arranging insurance or security measures.
Overall this flat suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a modern, low-maintenance property in Old Town Stevenage with gated parking and good local amenities. The apartment’s layout and secure setting deliver immediate move-in potential, while the leasehold costs and local crime data are material factors to factor into affordability and future running costs.
