This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette sits a short walk from Hitchin Mainline Station, putting Kings Cross within about 30 minutes. The layout includes a living room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and a private rear garden with a deck and brick shed — a rare outdoor space for ground-floor flats in the area.
The property is compact at about 570 sq ft and presents clear scope for updating: descriptions note contemporary fixtures and DIY potential, with solid brick walls likely uninsulated. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is recorded as double glazing though some internal notes reference single-glazed windows, so buyers should verify. Council tax is described as cheap, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local crime levels are low.
Practical ownership points: the flat is leasehold with 97 years remaining, an average service charge around £1,120, and a ground rent of £10pa. These terms, plus the apartment’s small size and need for modernization, make it most suitable for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to refurbish rather than someone seeking a turnkey home.
Location is a major asset: Hitchin town centre, markets, theatre and pools are close by, and several well-rated schools (including an Outstanding girls’ school) serve the area. If you value transport links, outdoor space and refurbishment potential in a sought-after Hertfordshire town, this property is worth viewing. Buyers should arrange their own checks on glazing, insulation and services.
