Summary - OSIER COURT, 64 FLAT 9 BANCROFT HITCHIN SG5 1LF
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Long lease, private balcony and allocated parking in central Hitchin — ideal for commuters.
Town-centre location, short walk to Hitchin station
Set on the second floor of a well-kept red-brick development in the heart of Hitchin, this two-bedroom apartment suits first-time buyers, commuters and buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony overlooking the communal courtyard, while the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite. The apartment includes a boarded loft for storage and allocated off-street parking.
Practical ownership is a strong selling point: a 995-year lease, share of freehold and no ground rent reduce long-term costs and uncertainty. The property is double-glazed, gas centrally heated and sits a short walk from Hitchin station, independent shops, cafés and schools with several rated Outstanding.
Notable considerations are stated plainly: the apartment is average in floor area (approx. 621 sq ft) and the communal service charge averages around £1,600 per year. The listing area records very high local crime levels — buyers should check local crime maps and security measures. Broadband speeds are average, and the layout is typical of a late 1990s/early 2000s build with no exceptional views.
Overall this apartment offers convenient town-centre living, low long-term tenure risk and immediate rental or homeowner appeal, provided purchasers are comfortable with modest living space and the local crime profile.
