A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage located in the heart of Shillington, presented with period character and well-maintained interiors. The living spaces are practical and co‑ordinated, with a ground-floor living room, kitchen/breakfast room and two modest first-floor bedrooms. The property is offered chain free and includes a private south-facing courtyard, an external store/outbuilding and mains gas central heating.
Its small footprint (c.536 sq ft internal) makes this an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy‑to‑let investors seeking a ready-to-live-in cottage close to Hitchin’s amenities and rail links. The village setting, low council tax band and nearby schools add practical lifestyle appeal while the south-facing courtyard provides a sheltered outdoor space requiring little maintenance.
Buyers should note the cottage’s traditional construction: solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation and older glazing of unknown install date. Room sizes are modest and the house will likely benefit from sympathetic updating and insulation improvements to increase comfort and value. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. Overall, the property offers immediate usability with clear scope for energy and cosmetic upgrades to personalise or improve rental returns.
