Summary - 8 BURY ROAD SHILLINGTON HITCHIN SG5 3NU
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful 3-bed cottage with landscaped garden and easy access to good local schools.
Three bedrooms, master with en suite
This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Bury Road blends period character with practical family living. Exposed beams, latch doors and brickwork give the house a warm, rustic feel while a dual-aspect 18ft living room and separate dining room create sociable ground-floor space for everyday life and entertaining. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite and there is a family bathroom plus a downstairs cloakroom for convenience.
Outside, a landscaped rear garden provides a generous, private space for alfresco dining and play, and the property includes a single garage and off-street parking. The village setting is a particular strength: well-regarded primary schools, a convenience store/post office, playground and two pubs are all within a short walk, with Hitchin and train links nearby for commuters.
Practical points to note: the house was constructed before 1900 and has timber-frame walls with no known insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor potential upgrading and maintenance into long-term costs. Ceilings are relatively low in parts and broadband speeds are average, which may matter for heavy home-working households. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
Overall, this home suits families or first-time buyers seeking a move-in ready, characterful village house with good outdoor space and easy access to schools and local amenities. It offers charm and immediate comfort, with clear scope for energy-efficiency improvements and sympathetic updating over time.
