About
Mercury House
Mercury House occupies the corner of Broadwater Road and Bridge Road East in Welwyn Garden City, on a site that previously housed a three-storey office building close to the town centre. The conversion and extension, completed in 2019, created 43 apartments across four floors, with balconies or terraces to many units and a communal 131 sq m roof terrace with views across the town and surrounding Hertfordshire countryside. The specification reflects the wider Aldenham Residential approach: named appliance brands, engineered oak flooring, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and heat recovery units fitted to every apartment. The majority of homes are one-bedroom, with two two-bedroom apartments at the corner of each upper floor. Each apartment is leasehold, with a 150-year lease from 2019.

Location & local area
Mercury House sits at the junction of Broadwater Road and Bridge Road East in Welwyn Garden City, one of the best-preserved examples of Ebenezer Howard's Garden City movement, founded in the 1920s. The town combines a planned neo-Georgian centre with tree-lined residential and business avenues, set against a backdrop of Hertfordshire countryside and Green Belt land. It's a rare example of urban planning built around wellbeing and green space, giving the town a distinctive, orderly character that's still evident in daily life here.
