Central Hitchin Location
Tenure: Leasehold
Property Insight:
Located in the popular Whitings Court, a retirement complex for the over-60s, this one-bedroom apartment is ideal for those looking to downsize and live in a central Hitchin location. For peace of mind, emergency response pullcords are installed throughout the property.
The apartment has a neutral décor scheme, providing a blank canvas for you to put your own stamp on. The entrance hall features a security spyhole in the door and a handy storage cupboard, which is ideal for tidying away coats and shoes. The spacious sitting/dining room has plenty of room for furniture, plus direct outside access via a glazed door which also introduces plenty of natural light. It’s a versatile space which can be configured to best suit your needs. Glazed double doors lead through to a fitted kitchen with a warm neutral colour scheme and built-in electric AEG oven and hob. Although compact in size, it’s a practical space with everything you need to prepare meals.
The neutral décor continues throughout the apartment – the double bedroom features a built-in mirrored wardrobe, leaving plenty of room for additional furniture. A fully tiled shower room with easy-access shower completes the property.
Residents have use of the comfortable communal lounge plus laundry room, as well as the communal garden areas. A busy social calendar means there is always something to do - the advantage to living in Whitings Court is that you can socialise as little or as much as you like!
In addition, you’re right on the doorstep of Hitchin’s cosmopolitan town centre, with the library and Waitrose just a few steps away, and shops, coffee shops and restaurants just a short stroll.
Location:
Hitchin continues to be one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable towns. With excellent transport links (fast trains to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge just 33 minutes), Hitchin often features as one of the best places to live in the UK. Its cosmopolitan town centre offers a wide selection of independent boutiques as well as an array of excellent restaurants - from trendy brunch cafés to fine dining experiences - catering to every taste. There are also many historic pubs and stylish bars to choose from. As well as a regular market, Hitchin has a thriving arts scene, including two theatres and an outdoor cinema in the summer months.
These particulars are intended to give a fair and reliable description of the property but no responsibility for any inaccuracy or error can be accepted and do not constitute an offer or contract. We have not tested any services or appliances (including central heating if fitted) referred to in these particulars and the purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the working order and condition. If a property is unoccupied at any time there may be reconnection charges for any switched off/disconnected or drained services or appliances. All measurements are approximate.
