Period charm with renovation potential, large plot and easy London links.
Three bedrooms with fitted storage in principal room
A late-Victorian semi-detached home in Hitchin’s sought-after SG4 9 area, this three-bedroom freehold property combines retained period detail with clear potential for modernisation. At 733 sq ft the layout is compact but well-proportioned, with two reception rooms, a kitchen that opens to a private courtyard and rear garden, and off-street parking to the rear. The plot is larger than many nearby houses, offering room to improve or extend (subject to consents).
The house retains character features such as exposed beams, an exposed brick chimney breast and fitted storage in the principal bedroom. Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing throughout and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for commuting or home working. Transport links are strong: Hitchin station gives quick access to London Kings Cross, and Luton Airport plus major motorways are within easy reach.
Important to note: the property needs renovation and updating throughout, including the mid-20th-century flat-roof extension and general modernisation of kitchen and bathroom. There is just one family bathroom, and the overall internal floor area is modest compared with modern family homes. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs into their budget.
This house will suit a family or a couple seeking a characterful home in a very low-crime, affluent area with excellent schools nearby. It is a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting a period property to improve and personalise, or investors looking for rental demand in a well-connected market.
