What The Owners Say

I viewed so many properties by the time I walked into this one. I had ‘the feeling’ that everyone talks about. It was the perfect halfway point between work & London where my family and friends are based. Since then, my husband and dog have joined me and it has been such a comfortable & practical home for us. We’re now looking to move into a family home.

The large floor to ceiling windows provides light in abundance as well as the perfect vantage point for our Golden Retriever to people watch and needlessly growl at passing foxes. The sunset pours light into the living area & produces the most stunning golden hours. The high ceilings, spacious bedrooms, open living area and double bathrooms have given us lots of space to live and entertain others (the premium build quality, soundproofing & concrete floors means noise transmission has never been an issue). We have always felt extremely safe here, especially whilst I was living alone.

What The Owners Say Continued

Being the only flat on a floor on the top floor gives us privacy. We also enjoy being part of a gated community (whether it be lending a lemon, collecting a parcel for us or being on neighbourhood watch). A 2-minute walk down the road is a newly renovated Londis that acts as our extended fridge and more importantly, a 12-minute walk takes you to the train station, with only a 20 min train to Finsbury Park. We often talk about how lucky we are to have the peace and quiet of a garden city with accessibility to London.

We have loved our time at this home - curating a living space that has become a haven for ourselves and our loved ones who often tell us that visiting the flat feels like a relaxing break. There is so much about it that we will miss but as we get ready for our next chapter, we hope that the next owners will enjoy it and make as many fond memories as we have.

About Wewlyn Garden City

Welwyn Garden City was founded by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the 1920s and designated a new town in 1948. It was aimed to combine the benefits of the city and countryside. Welwyn Garden City was an escape from life in overcrowded cities to a place of sunshine, leafy lanes, countryside and cafes. Emphasis was placed on the Garden City's healthy environment. Today the town centre is a busy and bustling place with a selection of shops. The Howard Centre is located in the town centre, where you can find a selection of high street favourites including John Lewis. There is also a Waitrose, Sainsburys and aldi. There is also a quaint cinema, showing the latest films. If you fancy a spot of lunch the town is home to a plethora of coffee shops, independent restaurants and well known chains including the French restaurant Cote which overlooks the fountain and for a real buzzing atmosphere.
