Property Insight:
A great opportunity for first time buyers or investors – this two double bedroom apartment comes with the unusual and highly sought-after benefit of a garage.
From the moment you enter the property, it immediately feels bright and spacious and ready for you to put your own stamp on. The entrance hall features a walk-in storage cupboard which is ideal for hiding away any clutter. Moving through to the sitting room, this room is large and filled with natural light, thanks to its large window – it’s a versatile space with plenty of room to add furniture to create areas for both relaxing and dining. Leading off from the sitting room is a good-size kitchen with modern units. It features an integrated electric oven and hob, as well as having space for a washing machine and fridge-freezer, alongside plenty of storage.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with neutral décor and built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is also neutrally decorated as well as fully tiled, with a full-size bath with shower over. This property also benefits from a private outside storage cupboard — perfect for keeping bikes, tools, or neatly tucked away.
Located just a short stroll from the town centre, the apartment is close to the popular Orange Tree pub as well as an M&S Simply Food. Offered chain-free and with a peppercorn ground rent, this apartment really is an excellent opportunity to get your foot on the Hitchin property ladder.
