Summary - 43 HIGH STREET CODICOTE HITCHIN SG4 8XB
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious 16th‑century house with annexe and large walled garden.
Five double bedrooms with principal bedroom and en suite
Dating from the 16th century, this detached five-bedroom character house sits in the heart of Codicote village and combines generous living space with period charm. The principal wing offers a principal bedroom with en suite, four further doubles, and a quirky layout of four reception rooms plus an office — ideal for family life and flexible daily routines. A well-equipped kitchen and adjoining boot/family room open onto a sheltered, well-stocked walled garden and patio.
A detached contemporary-style annexe/studio with vaulted ceiling and shower room provides useful independent space for guests, older children or a home office. Two driveways and off-street parking for several cars add practical convenience for a busy household. The house has many original features — inglenook fireplace, timber studs and exposed beams — that create an authentic period atmosphere.
Practical considerations: the property is timber-framed and was constructed before 1900 with assumed limited insulation; glazing is secondary. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are important factors to weigh against the character, size (circa 3,039 sq ft) and village location.
This home will suit a family seeking space and village living with the benefit of flexible annexe accommodation. It also appeals to those who value historic detail and are happy to manage ongoing maintenance or sympathetic upgrading to improve thermal performance and services.
