Property insight:

This two-bedroom period property home has been beautifully renovated and is located close to all of Hitchin’s superb amenities.  The property has a layout typical of the Victorian era – entering downstairs, there is a welcoming sitting room at the front of the house, with a bay window and a feature coal-effect gas fireplace.  The room has been decorated in a light neutral colour palette and feels bright and airy.  The double-glazed windows have been fitted with shutters, providing both privacy and aesthetic appeal.

Upstairs, the bright and tastefully decorated main bedroom is located to the front of the property – a lovely spacious room with fitted shutters, it has a delightfully tranquil feel.  The second bedroom is also a double and another light and appealing room.  The large, bright bathroom has a luxurious free-standing bath, walk-in shower and feature floor tiles.

To the front of the house is a neat, low maintenance front-garden, which has been walled and shingled, with a path leading to the front door.  The pleasant and enclosed rear garden features different zones – a decked entertaining area; a lawned area and a further paved area with a handy shed at the far end as well as side-gate access.  With established shrubs and trees, it’s a great space for relaxing as a family or entertaining friends.

If you love the charm of period properties and want to be close to the heart of Hitchin, this delightful home is beautifully presented and well worth a visit.
