Step into this ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Wallace Court, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The flat benefits from its own front door, private garden and covered allocated parking — rare conveniences for town-centre living. Built in the early 2000s with double glazing and a gas boiler, the property presents a secure, low-maintenance base for a first home or a buy-to-let purchase.
Both bedrooms are double-sized and the open-plan reception and kitchen create a practical living space with plenty of natural light. The modern kitchen includes fitted appliances and a breakfast area; the bathroom and general presentation are described as well maintained. Practical extras include an EPC rating of C, mains gas heating and straightforward access to Hitchin train station (about 0.6 miles).
Important factual points: this is a leasehold flat with 105 years remaining and a small ground rent of £200. Broadband speeds are average and the local crime level is recorded as very high — factors to consider for families or investors assessing rental demand and insurance costs. Council tax is described as cheap, and local schools include several rated Outstanding, which will appeal to buyers with children.
Overall, the apartment offers a sensible, low-hassle entry to the local market: convenient transport, private outdoor space and parking in a highly desirable, affluent area. Viewing is recommended for buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home or an easy-to-manage rental asset, provided they account for the leasehold status and local safety considerations.
