1 room in quality house close 2 WGC town & rail

Hi all

This is a character, 1930s terraced house which has been completely renovated to a very high standard close to the centre of Welwyn Garden City with its excellent range of shops, restaurants and coffee houses, including a large John Lewis department store, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Marks & Spencer - the latter of which can be found within the attractive Howard Centre: an indoor shopping complex, next to the mainline railway station.

The accommodation in this house consists of 3 double-sized and 1 single bedrooms plus a bathroom, living room and kitchen-diner.
The double-sized room currently available is at the front of the property, on the top floor. It has a double bed with bedside cabinets, a separate wardrobe, chest of drawers all in quality pine and comes complete with its own TV, Sky+ box and remote control with access to Sky's top package, included in the rent, (as are all bills). This system is independent from other tenants who also have the same Sky+ boxes in their own rooms. There is also free, high speed wireless broadband internet access from anywhere within the house.

The room will be ready to move into on the date set from 11am.

There is a guaranteed off-road parking space (enough for four cars) on the driveway as well as plenty of nearby street parking. The property also includes a large kitchen within a modern rear extension with top end NEFF appliances built-in, including a double oven, microwave, warming drawer and six ring gas hob as well as a dishwasher, washing machine, two fridge freezers and plenty of cupboard space. The kitchen-diner also includes a digital radio that includes an ipod dock/player so that tenants can listen to their own music when cooking, eating, relaxing etc.

In the sitting room there is also a large wall mounted, HD-ready, Samsung 40" home cinema TV & KEF surround sound speakers, Sony Blu Ray DVD player, Sony HDD (240Gb) DVD recorder/player, ipod dock as well as a reclining sofa. This shared system is also connected to Sky+ HD and therefore allows tenants to record up to a further 80 hours worth of TV from the vast array of digital channels on offer, not to mention the 40 hours available to them on their own Sky+ boxes in their bedrooms.

The bathroom is on the first floor with separate bath and shower cubicle with built in radio/iPod/iPhone sound system that includes ceiling mounted speakers.

Outside, in the back garden is a good sized lockable shed with wall mounted cycle brackets fitted (two inside and two outside), for tenants' use. There is a pleasant patio and lawn outside the rear kitchen-diner extension where tenants can relax, enjoy barbeques and general entertaining.

Also included in the rent is a regular cleaner for communal areas only (kitchen, bath & shower rooms, sitting room and hallway/landings), once a month. There is also a very good launderette that offers service washes and ironing to customers at a very reasonable rate, which can be found at the nearby Woodhall Shopping Parade.

These rooms within this fully equipped home offer very comfortable and 'hassle-free' accommodation that is close to London (24mins by train to Kings Cross and St. Pancras (with the Eurostar service) and 15mins to Finsbury Park with access to the Victoria and Piccadilly underground lines and Convent Garden, the West End and Oxford Street) as well as the Hertfordshire countryside and the nearby ancient county towns of St. Albans, Hitchin and Hertford, and would suit single professionals and/or postgraduate students working or studying in the local area or London.

The town centre and railway station are approximately 15 minutes walk away (up to five minutes maximum by bicycle) and there are also good local shops, pubs, restaurants and take-aways within a five minute walk, as is the Gosling Sports Centre close by which offers a gym, running track, squash courts, tennis centre, new floodlit golf driving range, dry ski slope and many sports clubs to name but a few of its attractions. The A1(M) is about a three minute drive away, giving excellent access to London, the M25 and north to Cambridge, Peterborough and beyond.

NB: the rents have been adjusted to reflect OFGEM's raising of the price cap earlier in 2022. Should there be further utility price increases I cannot rule out consequent rent rises, but I will be transparent about the numbers and won't be seeking to use it as an excuse to rip people off like a fuel or energy company!
