Home Survey Services for Welwyn Properties
Welwyn is a village with a long history, distinct from (and older than) its larger garden city neighbour. The village core along the High Street and Church Street contains fine examples of period architecture including 16th-18th century cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses, and the Grade I listed St Mary's Church. Later development brought 20th-century suburban housing and modern estates. The surrounding countryside of the Mimram valley is a defining feature of Welwyn's character, and properties here command a premium. The geology is chalk overlain by boulder clay and river gravels. Welwyn's railway station provides direct services to London King's Cross, making it popular with commuters who value the village atmosphere and proximity to countryside while maintaining good transport links.
