Set on a quiet West Hitchin street, this two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian cottage combines period character with convenient town-centre access. The home offers a bright, open-plan living and dining area, a rear kitchen, and an upstairs family bathroom — a useful feature for properties of this age. With 746 sq ft of accommodation and a small front garden plus enclosed rear garden, it suits couples or young families seeking a central location near Outstanding-rated primary and secondary schools.
The property will reward buyers prepared to modernise. There are visible roof and chimney issues and the house appears to have original solid brick walls with no cavity insulation (assumed), so sensible remediation and improvement works are likely. Double glazing and mains gas heating are already in place, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership.
Location is a key asset: about 0.5 mile (12-minute walk) to Hitchin town centre and 1.2 miles (27-minute walk) to Hitchin mainline station. The area is very affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it practical for commuters and home workers. Council tax is described as affordable.
This home is a good match for buyers wanting character and proximity to top schools, who are comfortable investing time and budget into updating fabric and roof repairs. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and layout.
