Gated mews in Hitchin town centre, moments from shops and station|Generous double bedroom with built-in storage|Open-plan kitchen/diner with integrated appliances|Chain free with existing rental income (£1,400pcm)|Leasehold: 122 years remaining, approx £1,485pa service charge|No ground rent; eight years remaining on new-build warranty|Compact 613 sq ft layout — efficient but limited space|Located in a very high crime area — consider safety implications
Tucked into a gated mews in the heart of Hitchin, this one-bedroom home offers low-maintenance, town-centre living across two tasteful floors. The open-plan kitchen/diner, bright living room and large double bedroom maximise the compact 613 sq ft layout for comfortable everyday use. Remote-controlled Velux windows add convenience and natural light throughout.
The property is leasehold (122 years remaining) with an annual service charge of approx £1,485 and no ground rent. It benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing, and eight years remaining on the new-build warranty. Chain-free sale and existing rental income (£1,400 pcm) make it straightforward for a swift purchase or an investor-ready buy.
Practical considerations are clear: space is efficient rather than expansive, and the property sits in a very high crime area, which could affect buyer preference and rental demand. The gated setting and secure courtyard mitigate some concerns, but prospective buyers should factor the service charge and local safety statistics into their decision.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or investor who values central convenience, secure low-maintenance living, and solid fixtures rather than large private outdoor space. Viewing is recommended to judge the layout, light and proximity to Hitchin’s shops, cafés and rail links for yourself.
