Designed for comfortable downsizing, this two-bedroom apartment at Dovehouse Lodge offers a bright, modern interior and easy access to Hitchin town centre — just a five-minute walk. The open-plan living/dining room and fitted kitchen are finished in contemporary tones, and the main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, providing practical, low-maintenance living.
Residents benefit from dedicated communal facilities tailored to older homeowners: a furnished owners’ lounge and coffee bar, a guest suite with shower, landscaped gardens, on-site lodge manager and a 24-hour careline. Practical extras include cycle and buggy storage, off-street parking and a three-year new-build warranty; a specialist Easy Service Move is also available to simplify the transition.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold with a ground rent of £625 and is served by a community heating scheme, so expect ongoing service charges in addition to the purchase price. Local crime statistics are recorded as very high for the area; prospective buyers should make their own enquiries about security and insurance implications.
Set in a quiet residential spot close to Waitrose and the market square, Dovehouse Lodge places shops, cafés and public transport within easy reach while offering a supportive retirement environment. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make staying connected simple, and the development’s contemporary finish and new-build warranty reduce immediate renovation needs.
