Set on Baldock’s historic High Street, this Grade II listed Georgian town house offers grand period character across three storeys and roughly 2,700 sq ft. The five double bedrooms, four reception rooms and a roof terrace give flexible living and entertaining space rarely found in the town centre. Tall sash windows and original brick elevations preserve the building’s late-18th-century charm while providing generous natural light.
The house is well suited to a family seeking central living with easy access to shops, cafes and schools, or to a buyer wanting a distinctive town-centre home with potential for tailored refurbishment. Note the property is leasehold and listed status will place statutory constraints on alterations; consent will be needed for many changes. The property is exempt from an EPC and currently has two bathrooms, so modernisation may be required to meet contemporary family expectations.
Practicalities to consider: there is no private garden and living overlooks the High Street, so daytime activity and some traffic noise are to be expected. A cellar adds storage but also needs inspection for condition and damp. The roof terrace is a notable selling point, offering elevated town views and an outdoor space uncommon for high-street houses.
Overall, this rare Georgian townhouse delivers size, character and location. It will particularly reward buyers prepared to work within listed-building requirements and invest to modernise services and fittings, creating a striking family home in the heart of Baldock.
