A chain-free, three-bedroom semi-detached house in a popular Hitchin street, offering straightforward scope to create a tailored family home. The property sits on a generous plot with a large rear garden, garage and driveway, and has potential to extend subject to planning permission (stpp). Local schools are well regarded, including two outstanding secondaries, and Oughtenhead Nature Reserve is within easy walking distance for regular outdoor time.
The interior is dated and will need renovation throughout — the kitchen and bathrooms are original and the overall accommodation is compact at around 770 sq ft. This makes the house best suited to buyers prepared to invest in modernisation to unlock its potential, or investors seeking a refurbishment project in a chain-free purchase.
Practical features include double glazing (installed pre-2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and freehold tenure. Note there is above-average local crime and the wider area scores as relatively deprived; prospective purchasers should factor this into their plans and enquiries.
In short, this property is a good opportunity for a growing family or project buyer who values location, outdoor space and school access, and is ready to improve and personalise a practical, post‑war home.
