“Living in a Churchill Apartment is absolutely marvellous. The whole building is so nice and warm all the time that we’ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment.

Life in Hitchin

This beautiful new development in Hitchin is in a fantastic, central location with all amenities close by. Voted as one of Britain’s best high streets, the bustling town centre of Hitchin offers a library, choice of supermarkets, a post office, coffee shops and an array of high street shops.

  • Hitchin is a pretty market town in the north of Hertfordshire. Probably most well known for a certain purple plant, Hitchin is home to Hitchin Lavender, a farm that contains around 25 miles of lavender rows.
  • Hitchin Lavender has a children’s play area and also grows sunflowers and wildflowers at the base. It’s the perfect location for enjoying a day out with the family to take in the scenery.
  • St Mary’s Church is located in the heart of the town and featured in the Domesday Book. The font dates back to the 15th Century and the church is a popular focal point of the town.
  • A market takes place every week on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and there’s also a craft and farmer’s market on the last Saturday of the month, so you can find everything you need.
