Set on a generous 0.2-acre plot in central Royston, this imposing 1930s detached house combines period charm with recent upgrades. The property offers three reception rooms, three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and a well-proportioned four-piece family bathroom — ample space for family life and entertaining. A renovated kitchen, newer boiler and updated fuse board (installed c. three years ago) reduce immediate maintenance worries.
The large rear garden includes an allotment area and a private side patio perfect for breakfast and outdoor play. Off-street parking is plentiful via a private driveway and an attached garage. The house sits within easy walking distance of Royston town centre and the mainline station (direct services to London and Cambridge), making it practical for commuters as well as families.
Buyers should note a few factual points: the property was built in the 1930s with solid brick walls that are assumed to lack cavity insulation, and council tax is above average. There is a single family bathroom and some original decorative features that may benefit from refreshing to suit a contemporary finish. Overall, the home is newly renovated in key areas but retains period character that will appeal to those wanting both style and practicality.
Viewing is recommended for those seeking a spacious family home in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent transport and school options nearby. The house suits buyers looking for a character property with usable outdoor space and commuter convenience, while accepting some typical period-house considerations around insulation and decorative updating.
