Summary - 96 WHINBUSH ROAD HITCHIN SG5 1PZ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Well-presented Victorian home with driveway and private garden, ideal for town-centre living.
Chain free, freehold tenure
This attractive two-bedroom Victorian semi sits in central Hitchin, steps from the town centre and 0.6 miles from the railway station — a practical location for commuters and families who want town life on the doorstep. The ground floor delivers a bright, open-plan lounge and dining area with a bay window and plantation shutters, plus French doors that open onto a private, well-kept rear garden with patio, pond and shed. Driveway parking for two cars and gated side access add everyday convenience.
Upstairs provides two well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in storage and a modern family bathroom fitted with a power shower over a Jacuzzi bath. The kitchen is dual-aspect and includes integrated appliances and a dishwasher. Practical benefits include double glazing fitted since 2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, freehold tenure and no onward chain, easing the purchase process.
Buyers should note some material points honestly: the property’s construction is an older timber frame (circa 1900–1929) and is recorded with no insulation assumed — retrofit insulation and related works may be required to improve energy efficiency. The plot is small, and while the garden is well maintained it is not extensive. Local recorded crime levels are high, which potential purchasers should factor into their decision and due diligence.
This home will suit first-time buyers or small families seeking central Hitchin living with good transport links, strong local schools and fast broadband. It also offers sensible scope for targeted improvements (insulation and energy upgrades) that would increase comfort and long-term value.
