Charming two-bed cottage with garden, close to shops and park.
Two-bedroom period cottage in Hemel Hempstead Old Town
Set in Hemel Hempstead’s picturesque Old Town, this two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage blends period charm with practical living. The property offers two reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, and a mature rear garden — rare in a central location and useful for outdoor relaxation or a small play area.
The house is presented well throughout and benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a short walk to local shops, bars, restaurants and Gadebridge Park. At around 755 sq ft, the layout is compact but well configured for couples, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental and resale potential in a desirable neighbourhood.
Buyers should note the material facts: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, limited off-street parking and a small frontage. Some images reference potential structural issues and areas that may need updating or further investigation. The area records higher crime levels, so buyers wanting peace of mind should factor security and a full survey into their plans.
Overall this freehold cottage is a characterful, centrally located home with genuine upside from renovation, insulation upgrades and sensible security improvements. A professional survey is strongly recommended to confirm condition and any necessary works before purchase.
