A one bedroom retirement apartment in a corner location, with a balcony, walk in wardrobe, a refitted kitchen, residents lounge, town centre location
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, offers a modern and well-maintained living space. The property boasts a contemporary design, evident in the recently renovated kitchen and bathroom, shown in high-quality photographs. The apartment benefits from a balcony overlooking communal gardens. Residents also have access to shared amenities, including a residents’ lounge and coffee bar, adding to the appeal. The location in Hitchin is desirable, close to good schools and the train station. While the square footage is relatively small at 616 sqft, the property’s condition and location justify the asking price, within the context of the provided comparable properties, many of which are similarly lacking specific square footage data which limits the certainty of this assertion. The lack of private land outside the balcony is a factor to consider, although this is partly offset by access to communal gardens and a residents’ lounge, which makes it a suitable property for buyers seeking a low-maintenance retirement option in a convenient and pleasant setting within a popular town. Further information about the specifics of the retirement community’s rules, lease terms and service charges would be useful in the overall valuation, as these factors can significantly impact the effective cost of ownership.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
