Chain-free flat under 10 minutes walk to the station and town centre.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment with Juliet balcony
Set on the first floor, this contemporary two-bedroom apartment offers a bright open-plan living area and a Juliet balcony overlooking leafy parkland. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room; a second double bedroom could serve as a home office or guest room. Finished with wooden floors and integrated kitchen appliances, the apartment feels modern and low-maintenance.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer: chain-free sale, 106 years remaining on the lease and gated parking with security entry. It sits only 0.4 miles from Hitchin station, making commuting to London or Cambridge straightforward, and the town’s shops, restaurants and well-rated schools are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with an average annual service charge around £2,500 and a small ground rent of £175. Heating is electric via room heaters (no communal gas central heating) and broadband speeds are reported as slow. Local crime levels are higher than average, so prospective purchasers may want to verify security arrangements and insurance implications.
Overall, the flat offers an attractive, ready-to-move-in base in a desirable town-centre location with good transport links and rental potential. It will suit first-time buyers seeking a convenient urban home or investors looking for a centrally located let, provided they account for the service charges and heating/broadband limitations.
