Quick sales at commuters’ paradise

Stylish apartments in Hitchin with perfect commuter links have been attracting eager home buyers – so much so that sales have raced past the half way mark. Some 60% of the apartments have now been reserved at Sharp’s Court, a Redrow development of 72 one and two bedroom properties.

The fantastic location, close to Hitchin train station, undoubtedly offers huge appeal for commuters, with direct train journeys to London and Cambridge taking around 35 minutes. Peterborough is also around 45 minutes away.

The setting also offers buyers the best of both worlds – relaxing small town life, with a gateway to a busier, more lively alternative just around the corner.

Beryl Williams, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Eastern), says: “We’ve had great success selling these apartments off-plan, both to investors and owner-occupiers who have recognised the benefits of the location and the good value these properties represent.

“Whether it’s busy young professionals commuting to jobs in London or downsizers looking to settle in a convenient and easy to maintain apartment, in an interesting and historic market town, Sharp’s Court has plenty to offer.

“Interest has built up steadily since we first went on sale from a local estate agent’s office and increased dramatically when we opened our on-site marketing suite. Now, with a planned show home and the first apartments due to be ready to move into this June, we’re expecting to make significant inroads into the final 40% of properties”

The development is close to Hitchin town centre, offering all the amenities you would expect from a small medieval market town, such as shops, bars, restaurants and a charming riverside frontage on the banks of the River Hiz.

Current prices for an apartment at Sharp’s Court start from £208,995 for a two-bedroom design with parking space.

To snap up a home at Sharp’s Court, visit the marketing suite on Sharps Way from 10am – 5pm, Thursday to Monday.
