Allocated off-street parking and large communal rear garden

Set within a small block of four, this chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a straightforward, well-presented starter home in a sought-after Hitchin neighbourhood. The layout centres on a generous living/dining room with a large bow window and direct access to a fitted kitchen, plus two good-sized bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. The flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and allocated off-street parking.
Practical running costs are a strength: there is no service charge or ground rent, and council tax is described as affordable. A large communal garden at the rear provides outdoor space, and the property sits within walking distance of local shops, amenities and several highly ranked schools, making it convenient for daily life and attractive to buyers seeking strong local schools.
Important considerations are the property’s modest overall footprint (approximately 577 sq ft) and its first-floor position (stairs only). The flat is leasehold with 159 years remaining — ample for most buyers but still a material fact — and residents contribute to maintenance and repair costs when required. No flooding risk is recorded and the area reports very low crime rates.
This is a pragmatic option for first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-into home in a quiet, affluent pocket of Hitchin with good transport, fast broadband and long lease security. While compact, the apartment’s well-proportioned living space, parking and communal garden provide genuine everyday comfort and scope for future value growth.
