About this home
Property Insight: Located in the popular Saxon Court retirement complex, this one-bedroom apartment is ideal for those looking to downsize and live in a central Hitchin location. The property is set up for independent living whilst also being equipped to provide additional care support if needed. The apartment features several reassuring security measures, including a front door with spyhole, intercom security system and 24h emergency response pullcords throughout the property. As you enter the property, you’ll immediately notice it has recently had new carpets and flooring and been fully re-decorated giving a welcoming feel with warm and neutral colour scheme. There is a large walk-in storage cupboard to your right, which is ideal for tidying away coats and shoes. The living/dining room is spacious with plenty of room to add furniture to make your own – the dual-aspect windows introducing plenty of natural light, helping make it a welcoming and bright space.
Part-glazed double doors lead through to a fitted kitchen with built-in electric oven and hob. Although compact in size, the kitchen is another bright room with everything you need to prepare meals. The electric heating has recently been renewed and upgraded with modern ‘Fischer’ storage heaters throughout. The warm décor continues throughout the apartment – the airy double bedroom features a built-in mirrored wardrobe, leaving plenty of room for additional furniture. A fully tiled shower room completes the property. Residents have use of the comfortable and warm (triple glazed we are told!!) homeowners’ lounge, laundry room, library and guest facilities as well as the communal garden areas. A busy social calendar means there is always something to do – from regular coffee mornings and card evenings to craft activities - the advantage to living in Saxon Court is that you can socialise as little or as much as you like! Location: In addition, you’re right on the doorstep of Hitchin’s cosmopolitan town centre, with shops, coffee shops and restaurants just a short stroll away.
