Bright, recently built two-bedroom flat in central Hitchin, offered with an active warranty and allocated off-street parking. The open-plan living/kitchen is well fitted with integrated appliances and wood-effect flooring, creating a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home ideal for a first purchase or buy-to-let. Communal areas are tidy and the block sits a short walk from shops, schools and transport links.
Practical positives include a long lease (circa 118 years), low local crime, no flood risk and fast broadband/mobile signal — helpful for commuters and home workers. The compact layout (approximately 358 sq ft) keeps running and maintenance manageable, while the communal landscaped frontage gives a semi-private outlook.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s small overall size and electric room heaters as the main heating source, which can increase energy costs compared with gas. The property is leasehold with an average ground rent of around £300 and potential additional fees for leasehold paperwork; buyers should factor these into affordability checks. There is no private garden and access to the flat is via communal stairs (no lift shown).
