A rarely available two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette set in a quiet cul-de-sac, just a short walk from Hitchin town centre and Waitrose. The property occupies 460 sq ft and is well-presented throughout, with a generous lounge-diner, modern galley kitchen and a private wrap-around garden with lawn, patio and terrace accessed from the living room. An allocated off-street parking space and communal visitor bay add practical convenience.
This home is ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low maintenance living and outdoor space. The long lease (156 years remaining) and modest ground rent (£100) make purchase straightforward. Service charge is £500 (described as below average); council tax is reported as cheap. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Buyers should note some material limitations: the property is electrically heated via room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can increase running costs. The overall size is small (460 sq ft) so space is compact. Local crime is recorded as very high—prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about security and local conditions.
Constructed in the early 1990s and fitted with double glazing (installation date unknown), the maisonette is broadly modern in style and requires no immediate renovation. It sits in a generally affluent area with several highly rated primary and secondary schools nearby, strong leisure amenities and direct rail links to London, Cambridge and Peterborough.
