Chain-free, parking, en-suite — ready to move in for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom flat with en-suite to main bedroom
A bright two-bedroom flat offered chain-free, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a hassle-free purchase. The open-plan living space receives good natural light from large windows and flows into a modern kitchen area, creating an easy, contemporary layout for everyday life and entertaining. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room; a second double and a main bathroom ensure comfortable accommodation for guests or a home office.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, a long lease and zero ground rent, reducing running costs compared with many leasehold homes. The apartment sits in a well-maintained, mid-20th-century block with double glazing and an EPC rating of B, supporting relatively efficient running costs. Local amenities, parks and good schools are within easy reach, and transport links are convenient for Hitchin town centre.
Notable considerations are factual: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of around £1,440 per year, and the block’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future retrofit costs. Built between 1950–1966, some communal elements or fittings may require ongoing maintenance. Buyers should check the exact lease length and communal maintenance arrangements during conveyancing.
Overall this is a well-presented, move-in ready flat with sensible running costs and practical perks such as parking and an en-suite. It suits first-time buyers wanting a low-fuss home close to amenities, or investors targeting reliable rental demand in an affluent, well-connected area.
