A charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Ickleford, St Katharines offers period character with practical, modern updates. Dating from the 16th century and sensitively modernised, the house retains exposed beams, original fireplaces and a log-burning stove while providing a fitted kitchen, dining area, ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms in approximately 697 sq ft.
Sympathetic renovations have created a comfortable, ready-to-move-in home with double glazing, gas central heating and a low-maintenance paved rear patio. The layout works well for downsizers or couples seeking village life: a sitting room, dining room with study area and a compact kitchen open to the garden provide flexible living on the ground floor.
Externally there is a small gated front garden with mature shrubs and a secluded rear patio garden. The cottage is chain free and within a two-minute walk of local shops and Ickleford Primary School, with good access to larger schools in Hitchin and local amenities including a pub, village hall and sports facilities.
Important considerations: listed status (Grade II) will restrict alterations and may make some repairs or changes more complex and costly. The property is modest in size and sits in an area with above-average crime levels, which buyers should factor into their decision. No flood risk is recorded and council tax is affordable.
