Hitchin is a thriving commuter town with plenty of cultural activity, quality schools, and good sports facilities, providing residents with one of the best combinations of amenities, character and location in Hertfordshire.
The latter half of the twentieth century brought great change to Hitchin, both good and not so good, but sympathetic redevelopment is underway in the centre of town to rectify some of the 'mistakes'. The architectural style of property in the suburbs is mixed, with some houses built in the 1920s and '30s and others during the last 40 years. The prices of property in Hitchin are reasonable with three-bedroom, terraced houses available for under £190,000 and good-sized four-bedroom, semi-detached family homes for under £300,000. In the region of £400,000 you can find some very attractive, detached, four-bedroom houses for sale in Hitchin and, for under £500,000, truly impressive homes offering up to six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and large, mature gardens.
If you are looking for flats for sale in Hitchin, one-bedroom flats in fairly new developments are from £125,000, with two-bedroom flats available for under £150,000.
