A charming two-double-bedroom period terrace in New Town, Hitchin (Codicote area), offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The house retains original features including sash windows, a period fireplace and plaster mouldings, giving genuine character and cosy living spaces. The property is compact (approx. 602 sq ft) but well laid out, with a ground-floor shower room and a versatile outbuilding suitable as a home office or studio.
Outside, a west-facing garden is a standout asset, providing afternoon and evening sun and a private spot for gardening or entertaining. The plot is small, so outdoor maintenance is modest. The location is highly convenient — local amenities, pubs, cafés and shops are within walking distance, and well-regarded primary and secondary schools serve the area.
Practical points to note: the house is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and appears to lack wall insulation, with room heaters and mains gas the main heating sources. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the EPC is rated D. These factors give scope for improvement — cavity or internal insulation, targeted heating upgrades and modernising finishes would increase comfort and long-term energy efficiency.
This home suits buyers seeking period character in a very desirable, peaceful neighbourhood — ideal for small families or buyers looking to downsize into a well-connected, community-focused area. Chain-free status and a useful outbuilding add flexibility, but budget for some energy-efficiency and updating works if prioritising low running costs.
