Chain-free ground-floor two-bedroom flat with communal garden
A chain-free, ground-floor two-bedroom flat in the High Point development, offering practical living with a private communal garden and single garage. The layout is traditional and straightforward: a generous hallway with cupboards, a 16ft lounge overlooking the garden, a well-presented 10ft kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in storage and a modern shower room. The flat includes useful lower-ground storage ideal for a utility area or bikes.
This property suits first-time buyers or downsizers who value outside space and parking in Hitchin. The 965-year lease removes typical leasehold concerns, and low crime plus nearby outstanding schools make the location reassuring for families. Nearby Waitrose, library and town facilities are within walking distance, while mature trees and a secluded garden bring a feeling of calm.
Be aware of some practical points: heating is electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas; broadband speeds are reported as slow; the development charges an average service charge of £1,900 and a small ground rent of £50 per year. The block dates from the 1950s–1960s and while double glazing is present, its installation date is unknown. These factors mean budget planning for energy and service costs is important.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat with secure long leasehold tenure, useful storage and off-street parking. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope for cosmetic updating to personalise the space and improve energy efficiency.
