Set on a desirable residential road in Hitchin, this three-bedroom Victorian semi delivers classic period charm and practical family living. Two reception rooms and an additional garden room create flexible space for day-to-day life, home working or children’s play. The south-west facing rear garden is a standout feature, offering sunny outdoor space for entertaining and family activities.
The property sits roughly a 10-minute walk to Hitchin town centre and under 20 minutes to the train station, making commutes and weekends out straightforward. Local schools — including highly regarded secondary options — and everyday amenities are close by, lending real convenience for families. The house has a driveway and original features such as a bay window, decorative mouldings and fireplaces that enhance its period appeal.
Practical considerations: the house would benefit from updating in places and there is potential for improvement or extension (subject to planning permission). There are signs the property may need attention for damp in parts and general modernisation to meet contemporary expectations. These factors present an opportunity to add value through refurbishment.
Overall this is a solid family home in a prime Hitchin location: attractive period bones, generous garden, and clear scope to personalise and increase value for buyers happy to carry out improvements.
