This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Hitchin Road offers characterful living with practical modern comforts. The lounge centres on an open fireplace, and the kitchen includes a generous walk-in larder, creating practical everyday spaces for a small family or couple.
The house sits on a decent plot with a larger-than-expected rear garden, paved seating areas, mature shrubs and a brick-built outhouse with power and lighting — useful for hobbies, storage or a home workshop. Off-road parking for two vehicles to the front adds everyday convenience in town.
Constructed in the post-war period (c.1950–66) with cavity walls, the property appears in excellent decorative condition but may benefit from upgrading wall insulation and any other modern energy-efficiency improvements. The loft is accessible from the main bedroom and offers potential for extra storage or conversion (subject to consents).
Positioned in a desirable market town with outstanding and good-rated schools nearby and fast commuter links to Arlesey, Hitchin, Bedford and London, this freehold home suits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into cottage with character and further scope to add value through targeted improvements.
