Characterful two-bedroom home in Hemel Hempstead Old Town, close to amenities and rail links..
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with period character features
A characterful two-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Hemel Hempstead Old Town, offered freehold and ready to occupy. The property retains period features — exposed beams, a brick fireplace and wood panelling — across two reception rooms and a compact but practical kitchen. A small private garden provides outdoor space, while double glazing and gas central heating offer everyday comfort.
Practical buyers will appreciate the property's size (around 629 sq ft) and traditional layout, which suit first-time buyers, young families or buy-to-let investors seeking a central location. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and regular rail services from Hemel Hempstead make daily life and commuting straightforward. Council tax is moderate and broadband speeds are fast.
There are a few material points to note. The house was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without insulation, so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades. Parking is on-street only, and the plot is small. The area records higher-than-average crime; consider this for security and insurance costs. Overall condition is described as great, but the age and construction mean some maintenance or modernisation could add value.
With character, central convenience and straightforward accommodation, this property suits someone seeking a period home to personalise or an investor targeting steady rental demand in Old Town. Be realistic about retrofit costs and neighbourhood considerations when assessing the purchase.
