The Property - This attractive late Victorian terraced town cottage has been transformed internally to provide a charming home with a contemporary vibe, whilst retaining its original character. The ground floor is now open-plan with a spacious main reception area opening to a dining room extension to the rear, which in turn leads to the modern kitchen area. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor. There are two good sized bedrooms on the first floor, plus a very smart modern bathroom.

The original part of the house is constructed on solid brick under a slate roof. The modern extension is of insulated cavity construction under an insulated flat roof, complete with a splendid double-glazed lantern. The cottage benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating.

The Outside - The cottage is set back behind a brick paved forecourt providing off-street parking.

The rear garden is some 82' (25m) in length and laid to lawn with a paved patio and ornamental trees. Timber garden shed.

The house benefits from a pedestrian right-of-way providing access to the rear garden and which continues to the adjoining property.

The Location - The house is conveniently situated just to the north of the town centre, less than a quarter of a mile from the High Street and the mainline railway station. Baldock is on the London to Cambridge mainline and regular services run throughout the day. The fastest services to London St Pancras take just 42 minutes, whilst the quickest journey to Cambridge is only 24 minutes. Baldock lies just to the north of the A505, linking the M11 and A1(M), Junction 10 on the latter being just a mile and three-quarter drive.

Today the town centre boasts many imposing period buildings and the broad High Street is a particularly notable feature.
