This Victorian semi sits within easy walking distance of Royston town centre and the station, offering practical family living and strong commuter appeal. The house provides four well-proportioned bedrooms across two storeys, two reception rooms, a useful utility and a converted cellar currently used as an office — good flexible space for home working.
The property’s large, south-west-facing rear garden is a standout asset for family life, with plenty of room for children’s play, entertaining and potential landscaping. Off-street driveway parking and gated side access add everyday convenience. There is clear scope to extend (subject to planning permission) for buyers seeking to increase living space or add value.
Buyers should note some material downsides: the EPC is E and the solid brick walls appear uninsulated, so energy efficiency and heating costs are likely to be higher than modern homes. Accommodation includes a single family bathroom, and while the interior is generally tidy, the property will benefit from targeted updating and possible insulation or heating upgrades.
Overall, this freehold Victorian home suits families or commuters who want character, generous outdoor space and room to improve. It’s a sensible purchase for someone prepared to invest in energy and cosmetic upgrades or to pursue an extension (STPP) to unlock further value.
