Summary - WILSHERE COURT FLAT 23 QUEEN STREET HITCHIN SG4 9TT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom town-centre flat with balcony, garden views and parking by Hitchin station.
Chain-free top-floor retirement flat with lift access
Set in the heart of Hitchin, this chain-free two-bedroom top-floor retirement flat offers practical, low-maintenance living with local shops and rail links moments away. The apartment measures about 761 sq ft and includes a living room, kitchen, two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a private balcony overlooking communal garden space. Lift access and a recently updated communal lounge support independent living.
The building was constructed in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation. Off-street resident parking and excellent mobile signal add day-to-day convenience. Direct rail services to London, Cambridge and Peterborough and easy A1(M) access make visits to family and services straightforward.
Notable costs and practical points are clear: the lease has approximately 105 years remaining and the flat is leasehold; the service charge is high at £6,000 per year and ground rent is £600 annually. Heating is electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives and will affect running costs. These are important factors for budgeting and long-term ownership planning.
This property will suit a buyer seeking town-centre convenience, low-maintenance accommodation and community facilities aimed at older residents. There is scope to personalise the interior, but any purchaser should account for ongoing service charges and potential higher energy bills from electric heating.
