Offered chain-free, this modern two-bedroom apartment in Coopers Yard provides a central Hitchin base with secure underground parking and lift access. The open-plan living area with a Juliet balcony brings natural light and suits compact, low-maintenance city living. Its location is about a mile (22-minute walk) from Hitchin railway station, handy for commuters.
The primary bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room; a separate contemporary bathroom serves the second bedroom. The apartment is set within a purpose-built development (1996–2002) and benefits from double glazing and communal upkeep, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a town-centre rental.
Important practical points: the property is modest in overall size (612 sq ft) so living areas and bedrooms are compact. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may be costlier to run. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. The lease has 110 years remaining, with an annual service charge of £2,054 and ground rent of £300.
Location strengths include proximity to strong primary and secondary schools, the market square amenities, theatres and restaurants. Buyers should note the local area records very high crime statistics; prospective purchasers may want to review recent local crime data and building security. Together, these facts make the flat a practical, low-maintenance choice for a first home or rental investment if the size and running costs match your needs.
