Central two-bedroom with balcony and secure garage parking, chain-free and ready to move.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment with ensuite and balcony
A compact, chain-free two-bedroom home in the heart of Hitchin’s market area, ideal for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let purchase. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a balcony, bringing light into the living space and extending the footprint on fair-weather days. One bedroom has an ensuite and fitted wardrobes, while a separate bathroom serves the second bedroom.
Practical benefits include secure underground garage parking, a long lease (109 years remaining) and clear running costs: ground rent approximately £300 pa and service charge around £2,054 pa. At about 530 sq ft, the layout maximises usable space but will suit buyers looking for compact living rather than large family accommodation.
There are a few material points to note: heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may affect running costs; the area records a very high crime statistic; and the building has had some maintenance items (garage leak and coping-stone works) noted and addressed. The flat is about 1.0 mile (circa 20-minute walk) from Hitchin station, placing rail links within reasonable walking distance.
Overall this property offers a convenient, low-maintenance town-centre base with secure parking and good local amenities. It suits someone seeking a central, contemporary home or a rental with steady tenant demand from nearby schools, colleges and town-centre employers.
