Property Detail
When this landlord came to M A S O N S, they were unhappy with their previous agent’s service – having faced a string of short-term tenancies and eye-watering maintenance quotes for routine repairs. They needed a more reliable, transparent and hands-on approach. That’s exactly what we delivered.
Within just one week of marketing, we secured a three-year fixed tenancy at the full asking price, with 5% annual rent increases and rent paid 12 months in advance for each year of the tenancy – an exceptional result offering long-term security and consistent returns.
The property itself is an outstanding five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached family home, located on one of Hitchin’s most sought-after roads on the west side of town. Recently remodelled and refurbished throughout, it’s been finished to a high standard and offers flexible space ideal for modern family living.
The accommodation includes a striking 10m-wide kitchen/diner with high-spec appliances, kitchen island, breakfast bar and bi-fold doors opening onto a generous rear garden. On the ground floor you’ll also find a home office with French doors, a formal lounge with fireplace, an additional reception room, utility, cloakroom, and shower room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling, Juliet balcony and luxury en-suite with freestanding bath and separate shower. A further en-suite bedroom and family bathroom with skylight complete the upper floor.
Outside, the property features driveway parking, a garage, and a well-maintained garden – all tucked away in a quiet, residential location just a short walk from Hitchin town centre, the mainline station, and top local schools including Samuel Lucas Primary and Hitchin Boys’ School.
Since taking over the management, we’ve also taken a more pragmatic approach to property maintenance – drastically cutting ongoing costs for the landlord without compromising on quality.
