Summary - SAXON COURT FLAT 1 QUEEN STREET HITCHIN SG4 9TB
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Central, low-maintenance living with on-site support and communal facilities.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, compact 494 sq ft
A well-presented, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Hitchin, set within a purpose-built block overlooking Market Place and St Mary’s Church. The flat benefits from a light living room with direct access to a small outside area, a double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a separate kitchen. On-site communal facilities include a lounge, laundry, communal garden, visitors’ suite and organised resident events.
Practical safety and support features add peace of mind: a 24-hour Careline emergency system and a house manager available Monday to Friday. The secure gated entrance, communal parking and excellent local transport links — including direct trains to London Kings Cross and Cambridge — make the location genuinely convenient for town-centre living and appointments.
Important cost and tenure facts: the property is leasehold with around 102 years remaining, offered chain-free. Service charges are relatively high at about £3,868 per year and ground rent is £790 per year, which buyers should factor into ongoing affordability. The apartment’s footprint is compact (approximately 494 sq ft) and private outdoor space is limited to a small area off the lounge; communal gardens are shared.
This flat will appeal to downsizers or retirement buyers seeking low-maintenance, centrally placed accommodation with onsite support and active communal amenities. Investors may also be interested in the town-centre location and ready-made communal services, but should account for the service charge, ground rent and leasehold nature when assessing yield.
