Characterful 3-bed cottage near town and station, with garden office and parking.
Grade II listed cottage with original parquet floors and fireplaces
This Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage sits within walking distance of Letchworth town centre and the train station, offering a rare combination of period character and everyday convenience. Original features such as herringbone parquet and fireplaces sit alongside a recently refitted kitchen with underfloor heating and an adaptable garden office with power — practical benefits for a modern household or home-worker.
The house is compact (about 766 sq ft) and retains solid brick walls with no original insulation (assumed), so there is potential for energy-efficiency upgrades. The layout is traditional with one bathroom and three bedrooms across two floors; the property will suit a small family, couple or first-time buyer wanting character rather than large floorplates. The west-facing rear garden and paved/decked seating areas provide pleasant outdoor space and late-afternoon sun.
Buyers should note the listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or refurbishment. There is off-street parking for one car plus additional parking around the green, and local amenities — schools, shops, cafes and transport links — are all close by. Overall this is a characterful, manageable home with clear renovation or retrofit potential, traded freehold at an affordable council tax band and priced for the local market.
