Summary - 129A OLD HALE WAY HITCHIN SG5 1XT
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable two-bedroom close to Hitchin station and town centre.
Purpose-built two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with garden access
A compact, well-laid-out two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offered with long leasehold security and allocated off-street parking. The principal bedroom opens via double doors to the generous communal garden, bringing light and private access to outdoor space—useful for low-maintenance living or pets. Double glazing and mains gas central heating provide modern comfort in a purpose-built block constructed in the early 1990s.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into Hitchin without sacrificing location. It sits within easy walking distance of Hitchin town centre and the mainline station (about 1.0–1.2 miles), and benefits from very low local crime, fast broadband, and highly regarded nearby schools—helpful for future resale or family plans. The small block of four homes gives a neighbourly feel and quieter communal areas.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (168 years), an annual communal contribution of approximately £292.97 for maintenance and insurance, and no separate ground rent billed. The overall footprint is modest at c.552 sq ft, so the layout works best for buyers who prioritise location and manageable running costs over expansive living space. Storage and room sizes are compact by modern standards.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with shared communal responsibilities; contributions are made when maintenance is required. The single bathroom and smaller kitchen mean some buyers may want cosmetic updates or reconfiguration to suit contemporary tastes. Council tax is described as affordable, and the property is in a very affluent area, which supports longer-term value stability.
