Double glazing installed before 2002 — may be less efficient
Higher local crime levels; small plot size
A charming two double-bedroom semi-detached cottage, quietly set back from Queensway and a short walk from Hemel Hempstead Old Town. The living room features a feature fireplace and there’s a refitted shaker-style kitchen flowing to a conservatory currently used as a dining area with air-conditioning—ideal for year-round entertaining.
Practical extras include a useful basement space previously used as an office/playroom, built-in wardrobes in the principal bedroom and a substantial four-piece family bathroom. Outside there’s a private front garden laid to lawn and a mainly decked rear courtyard for outdoor dining and low-maintenance planting.
Energy and maintenance notes: the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and solid brick walls (no added insulation assumed), which may mean improvement work to modernise thermal performance. The plot is small and the area records higher local crime levels, so buyers should factor security and potential insulation/upgrade costs into their plans.
This freehold cottage offers an attractive entry into a popular Old Town location for first-time buyers seeking character and immediate usability, with clear scope to personalise and increase comfort and energy efficiency. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and location.
