Summary - 27 OUGHTON HEAD WAY HITCHIN SG5 2LA
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large private garden and town-centre convenience for hands-on buyers.
Two double bedrooms with original fireplaces and exposed floorboards
A charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage in West Hitchin, full of period character including exposed floorboards and fireplaces. The house sits a five-minute walk from the town centre and directly beside Oughtonhead Nature Reserve, offering an appealing mix of town convenience and green space. The rear garden extends to approximately 120ft, a rare and valuable feature for this location.
The accommodation is compact and practical: living room and kitchen on the ground floor with the family bathroom also at ground level, and two double bedrooms on the first floor. The compact footprint and solid-brick walls suggest limited internal space and potential cold spots; the walls are likely uninsulated and double glazing install date is unknown. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
There is obvious scope to improve and extend (subject to planning consent) so the cottage suits a buyer seeking a project or extra-living potential — for example extending into the garden or reconfiguring interiors to modernise. Important practical points: the overall size is small (approximately 534 sq ft), the property is older (pre-1900), and any renovation or insulation work should be factored into budgets.
Freehold tenure, low perceived council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband add everyday convenience. This home will appeal especially to first-time buyers or couples who value character, a large private garden and a central Hitchin location, and who are comfortable with modest living space and some refurbishment work.
