A compact, chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette with rare long-lease security and a private rear garden in central Hitchin. The 993-year lease and share of freehold remove common leasehold pitfalls, while the location places the town centre and mainline station within easy walking distance — useful for commuters to London and Cambridge.
The property offers an open-plan kitchen/living area, a bay-fronted double bedroom and a small family bathroom. Interiors are largely traditional with timber floors and period features; the flat is tidy but will reward modest cosmetic updating to maximise space and rental or resale value. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install dates are unknown.
Important sale details: this lot is offered by the Modern Method of Auction. There is an undisclosed reserve price and buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) on exchange. A buyer information pack fee (up to £349 inc. VAT) and other auction-related costs may apply; completion is required within 56 days. Prospective purchasers should carry out their own due diligence and budget for the reservation fee in addition to the purchase price.
Best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry property in an affluent Hitchin area. The maisonette’s small footprint limits living space, but long lease and garden space offer practical advantages compared with many urban flats. Expect a straightforward refurbishment to increase comfort or rental yield.
