Large plot with detached one-bed annexe and strong rental potential.
Five bedroom barn conversion with abundant natural light
Set on a large plot in peaceful countryside on the edge of Hitchin, this beautifully converted semi-detached barn offers flexible living across spacious, light-filled rooms. The heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with bi-fold doors to the garden, plus an adjoining family room and a useful home office — ideal for modern family life and entertaining.
The principal bedroom features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in dressing room and an en-suite; a second bedroom also has an en-suite. Ground-floor conveniences include a cloakroom, utility room and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove. Heating is via an air-source heat pump with underfloor distribution, and the property benefits from substantial parking, a double carport and a single garage with power.
A particular plus is the detached, self-contained one-bedroom annexe arranged over two floors, currently used successfully as an Airbnb. That annexe offers genuine rental or guest accommodation potential, providing an additional income stream or flexible space for extended family.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow in this location, council tax is described as quite expensive and local crime rates are above average. The rural setting is lovely, but services and connectivity are more limited than in town. Overall, the property suits buyers seeking generous space, countryside views and income potential, who are comfortable with slower broadband and the running costs associated with a large home.
