The open-plan kitchen/lounge opens onto landscaped communal gardens and the property includes an en suite to the master and allocated underground parking.
The flat has been recently renovated with a new kitchen and contemporary finishes throughout, offering move-in-ready accommodation across approximately 636 sq ft. Practical features include double glazing, built-in storage and direct access to communal grounds with gated access to Bancroft Park.

The development sits in an affluent area with excellent mobile signal and strong local schools, but local crime levels are reported as high — buyers should factor security and insurance considerations into their plans.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat that offers commuter convenience, low immediate maintenance thanks to recent renovations, and scope for future value uplift for buyers wanting central Hitchin living with secure parking.
