Description

Property Insight:

Located in the exclusive Churchill Dovehouse Lodge retirement complex, this highly sought after two-double bedroom, ground floor 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 and benefits from many communal facilities.

The apartment features several reassuring security measures, including a front door with spyhole, intercom security system and 24h emergency response Careline support.

As you enter the property, you’ll immediately notice its beautifully tranquil ambience and high-quality finishes.  The entrance hall benefits from a large walk-in storage which is ideal for tidying away coats and shoes.  The large sitting/dining room has a neutral décor scheme and a feature fireplace - the room feels cosy and welcoming with plenty of space for adding your own furniture.  The combination of multiple windows and a glazed door brings in lots of natural light as well as providing handy additional access to outside.

A glazed door also leads from the sitting/dining room into the neutrally decorated kitchen, which features a large window, sleek high-gloss units and coordinated worktop.  The kitchen is fully fitted with a waist-height oven, hob, hood, fridge/freezer and has good storage space.

The calming colour scheme continues throughout the apartment.  Both bedrooms are tranquil and large doubles.  The main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, and the second bedroom has a built-in mirrored wardrobe, leaving plenty of room in each for additional furniture.  Both rooms have TV and telephone points.  The contemporary bathroom is fully tiled and features a full-size bath and separate shower cubicle. 

Residents have use of the luxurious homeowners’ lounge and coffee bar and the beautifully landscaped gardens provide a wonderful setting for socialising in the summer months.  A busy social calendar means there is always something to do - the advantage to living in Dovehouse Lodge 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.
