Period charm and modern comfort near Hitchin, ideal for family life.
Three bedrooms with period features and contemporary finish
Set in the sought-after village of Ickleford, this three-bedroom period cottage blends original character with a contemporary finish. The ground floor offers a generous living room with a feature fireplace and bay window, plus a large hallway currently used as a dining area that flows through to the fitted kitchen. The property is presented exceptionally well and benefits from a landscaped, enclosed rear garden and a garage accessed to the rear.
The house is well suited to a family seeking village life within easy reach of Hitchin and countryside amenities — Hitchin Lavender Fields are a short walk away and Hitchin station is about a nine-minute drive. Good local primary and secondary schools are nearby, and the area scores well for broadband and mobile signal. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with three bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom including a roll-top bath.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the home is solid brick (original walls assumed uninsulated), ceilings are lower in parts of the living room, and there is a single family bathroom. The plot is small, parking is via a garage rather than a large driveway, and local crime is reported as above average. Overall, this period terraced house offers comfortable village living with tasteful presentation and potential for modest energy improvement works.
