Summary - 10 Archers Court, Elmside Walk SG5 1HB
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Easy central living with communal facilities and long lease.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with lift access
A well-presented first-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Hitchin, this one-bedroom home sits within the popular Archers Court development and overlooks playing fields to the rear. The layout is practical: a fitted kitchen with washer/dryer, a wet room, and a bright living area, all in an average-sized 545 sq ft footprint. Lift access, communal lounge and attractive gardens make it easy to socialise or step outside for fresh air.
The property is offered as shared ownership on a long lease (108 years remaining) and benefits from secure entry, off-street parking and good 4G mobile signal. There is no flood risk and the building is modern brick construction with double glazing installed. Extra care services are available in the development if required.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with an above-average service charge (listed at £8,892) and a ground rent of £450. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. The apartment is in a very central town location with excellent access to shops, surgeries and public transport, though local crime levels are recorded as very high and should be considered when assessing personal security needs.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance, sociable retirement living close to town amenities, or those who want an accessible, ground-sited first-floor flat with communal facilities. The combination of a long lease and on-site support makes it a practical option, but prospective buyers should factor in service charges and electric heating costs when budgeting.
