This second-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies 606 sq ft in a modern red-brick development close to Hitchin town centre and the station — a practical base for commuters and first-time buyers. The layout includes a living room with small covered balcony, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, an ensuite and a separate shower room.
Key ownership perks are immediate: share of freehold, a recent 999-year lease and no ground rent. The block is run by a resident management company and the annual service charge is about £1,600 (includes water). An allocated off-street parking space adds real convenience in a town-centre setting.
The flat is compact and well suited to professionals or a small household seeking a low-maintenance central home or a rental investment. The property was built in the late 1990s/early 2000s, has double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators; the EPC is C.
Notable negatives are the small overall size and a higher local crime rate; broadband speeds are average. Buyers should factor the service charge and communal management arrangements into budgets and viewings should assess storage and room proportions to ensure they meet needs.
