Summary - 5 CHAPEL ROW, WHINBUSH ROAD, HITCHIN SG5 1PW
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact one-bedroom with garden and excellent transport links for first-time buyers.
8-minute walk to Hitchin station and town centre
Light-filled first-floor maisonette in central Hitchin, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property sits a short eight-minute walk from both the town centre and Hitchin station, offering excellent links and everyday convenience. The living room/diner is bright and comfortable, with a galley kitchen equipped for modern cooking and space for full-size appliances.
The double bedroom includes a large built-in wardrobe and the first-floor layout benefits from a large, partially boarded loft plus a private outside storage cupboard — useful extras for a compact home. A small private garden and driveway add outdoor space and off-street convenience. The building dates from the early 1990s and has double glazing installed after 2002, with gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with about 88 years remaining, a below-average service charge of £120 and a modest ground rent of £80. Council tax is described as cheap. The wider area shows mixed inner-city character and a higher crime level than average; buyers should consider local safety and security measures. Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented one-bedroom maisonette offering good transport links and rental potential, suited to first-time purchasers or investors comfortable with a leasehold flat.
