Charming Grade II listed townhouse with garden, garage and scope to create four bedrooms..
Grade II listed 17th‑century timbered house with authentic period features
This Grade II listed, timber‑framed house sits on Much Hadham High Street and offers genuine historic character: exposed beams, brick fireplace and dormer windows. The layout spans three floors with a timbered sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen opening to a west‑facing rear garden of about 35ft — a manageable, sunny outdoor space with direct access to the single garage.
The house currently provides three good bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the larger rear first‑floor bedroom previously configured as two rooms. A simple partition (and any required consents) would reinstate a fourth bedroom—useful for a growing family or home office. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the garage has light and power.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate structural or external changes. The property’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and glazing is secondary, so energy‑efficiency upgrades will be needed. Broadband speeds are slow in the village, although mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is above average for the area.
For families seeking village life with direct access to primary school, shops, pub and recreation facilities, this house combines historic charm with usable living spaces and straightforward outdoor maintenance. Renovation and sympathetic upgrading will unlock further comfort and value, but any work must respect the listing and obtain necessary consents.
