WHAT THE OWNERS SAY

We have lived in our home for over 30 years and have really enjoyed our time here. However, it is now time for us to look for our ‘forever home’, as we are getting a bit older and looking for a bungalow.
We are close to all the amenities with shops, doctors and dentists all within walking distance. There are also primary and secondary schools nearby. There is also a regular bus service which takes you into the town centre. The closeness of both the train access to London and the nearby A1 were both important to us in our working lives, with us working in central London and north London. Since we’ve retired we still regularly head up to London to catch up with friends so the regular train service is still a bonus.
There is a strong community feel with good next door neighbours. We regularly go for walks with neighbours and their dogs over to the nearby park of Moneyhole.
We will miss both Welwyn Garden City and our neighbours when we do even...
