Large plot and renovation potential in Hitchin, close to station and schools.
3 bedrooms with separate living and dining rooms
This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wilshere Crescent, Hitchin, offers a substantial plot and straightforward mid‑century accommodation ready for a full modernisation. The ground floor provides separate living and dining rooms plus a kitchen; upstairs are three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The large enclosed rear garden, outbuilding and outside WC add useful space and scope for extension or landscaping (subject to planning).
Located about 1 mile (22-minute walk) from Hitchin station and close to the town’s amenities and highly regarded schools, the house suits buyers seeking long-term family occupation or investors after refurbishment potential in a well-connected market town. The property is freehold, has mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and low local crime.
Important practical points: the house requires complete modernisation throughout and will need investment to bring services and interiors up to current standards. It was part of a stock transfer and is subject to an overage; the purchaser must enter a deed of covenant with the Council on completion and pay the Council’s legal costs (£500). There is a contractual expectation to exchange and complete within tight timescales once an offer is accepted.
In short, the property presents clear value for someone prepared to renovate: a roomy plot in a popular Hitchin location with good transport links and school options, balanced against renovation costs, covenant obligations and a single bathroom layout.
