This chain-free, two-bedroom second-floor apartment in central Hitchin offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living/dining room flows onto a private balcony, and the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en‑suite. Share of freehold and a long lease (997 years) provide secure tenure and low ownership uncertainty.
The flat sits in a modern low-rise development built in the early 1990s, with double glazing and gas central heating delivered by a boiler and radiators. An allocated off-street parking space adds convenience for car owners, while the location places the town centre, mainline station and Bancroft Recreation Ground within easy walking distance.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the fitted kitchen and general finish are well maintained but offer scope for cosmetic upgrading to add value. Broadband speeds are average, and local crime levels are reported as very high — prospective buyers should factor neighbourhood safety measures and insurance costs into their decision. Council tax is described as affordable.
In short, this apartment is a sensible, low-hassle purchase for someone seeking central Hitchin living with secure tenure and parking. It suits buyers wanting immediate occupation with potential to personalise the kitchen and finishes over time.
