Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, about 797 sq ft
Set within an imposing Grade II listed former public building, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers generous rooms, high ceilings and contemporary open-plan living. At around 797 sq ft the layout suits buyers seeking low-stair, spacious accommodation in the heart of Hitchin, with gated parking and easy access to shops, transport and excellent local schools.
The apartment is presented in good order with a modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms including an en-suite to the master. High ceilings, sash-style bay windows and period details give character and natural light; the open-plan living area is large and flexible for living and dining.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,500 and ground rent of £350. It is Grade II listed, which preserves character but may restrict alterations and can complicate some maintenance or retrofit works. Heating is electric (room heaters), so buyers should consider running costs and any future heating upgrades.
This apartment will suit downsizers, professionals or buyers after a central, characterful home with off-street gated parking. Internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale and detail of the conversion and to assess any listed-building related limitations.
