Summary - Wratten Road West, Hitchin, SG5 SG5 2EJ
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, comfortable living close to town amenities and communal facilities.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony
Set on the second floor of a well-maintained retirement development, this one-bedroom apartment suits someone looking to downsize without compromising on comfort. The lounge opens onto a private balcony with views across the communal gardens, ideal for morning coffee or gentle outdoor relaxation. A practical kitchen sits off the lounge and can be closed for privacy.
The bedroom is a good size for the building and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe; the shower room is directly adjacent. Extra storage is provided by a separate walk-in cupboard. The building offers lift access to all floors, a residents’ lounge with coffee bar and attractive communal gardens for social and leisure use.
Practical features include high-performance glazing, low-energy lighting and community heating, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for staying connected. The property is leasehold with a long remaining term, and council tax is described as affordable.
Points to note: the property sits in an area flagged with very high local crime statistics; prospective buyers should check local safety data and personal suitability. The apartment is presented in very good condition and is ready to move into, but communal service arrangements (community heating and building services) should be reviewed for cost and management details.
