2 bed flat for sale

Bancroft, Hitchin SG5

Guide price £325k to £350k. Tucked away just off Bancroft in a quiet, gated courtyard, this apartment puts you right at the heart of Hitchin’s buzz while keeping things calm and private once you’re home. With around 790 sq ft of space and its own garden, it feels more like a small house than a flat – a rare find in such a central spot.

The open-plan living space is bright and generous, with plenty of room for a large sofa and dining table without anyone getting in each other’s way. French doors lead directly to the garden, bringing an easy flow between inside and out – perfect for an evening drink in the sun or weekend catch-ups with friends.

Cooking and conversation come naturally here, with the kitchen sitting just off the main space so you’re still part of the action while preparing dinner.

When it’s time to unwind, the main bedroom offers real breathing room, stretching to around 18 feet with space for a desk or dressing area and a private en-suite. The second bedroom works comfortably for guests, a child’s room or a home office, with the main bathroom nearby – ideal for those morning routines or lazy Sunday baths.

Got a car or two? Your allocated covered parking bay keeps things dry whatever the weather, and being moments from Bancroft means cafés, restaurants and the market square are just a short stroll away. Hitchin station is around a mile and a half from your door, so London commutes and weekend escapes are both easy.

Outside, the private garden gives this home its extra edge – a small but welcoming outdoor space with a paved seating area, low-maintenance lawn and just enough greenery to make it feel tucked away. Hitchin has that rare mix of character and convenience – a market town that’s always lively but never rushed. Independent shops, artisan bakeries and buzzing cafés line the historic streets, while the open spaces of Windmill Hill and Butts Close bring greenery just minutes from the centre. Whether it’s an early coffee at Hermitage Road or an evening at The Orange Tree, living here keeps everything you need within easy reach.

If you’ve been looking for town-centre living without giving up space or privacy, this apartment brings the best of both worlds – a sociable layout, a little patch of outside space and the buzz of Hitchin right on your doorstep.
