Summary - Wratten Road West, Hitchin, SG5 SG5 2EJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary one-bed retirement apartment close to Hitchin town centre.
Five-minute walk to Hitchin town centre and amenities
Dovehouse Lodge offers a new-build, one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Hitchin, just a five-minute walk from the market square and local amenities. The apartment is part of a purpose-built development with landscaped gardens, free residents’ parking, residents’ lounge and coffee bar, and a furnished guest suite for visitors. On-site support includes a Lodge Manager and 24-hour careline, plus a specialist Easy Service Move and a 3-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Interiors are finished in a contemporary style with an open-plan living/dining room, modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a generous main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower, and a separate bathroom with heated towel rail. The apartment is compact (approximately 558 sq ft) and will suit a single buyer or couple looking to downsize while retaining comfort and low-maintenance living.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement property served by a community heating scheme — prospective buyers should check lease length, service charges and heating/cost arrangements. The development advertises no exit fee and stamp duty paid, but the local area records a very high crime statistic which may concern some buyers; viewings should include local checks. Hallways are described as narrow and the layout is relatively compact, so the flat is less suited to those needing large circulation or extensive storage.
Overall, Dovehouse Lodge is aimed at buyers seeking a secure, low-maintenance retirement base close to Hitchin’s town centre and services. It combines new-build warranties and communal support with easy access to shops and transport, but buyers should review lease terms, service costs and local safety data before deciding.
