Property Insight:

Located just a short stroll from the train station, is this charming, end of terrace cottage.  This character property has been beautifully renovated with a contemporary interior to create a wonderful home in the heart of Hitchin.

As you enter the cottage and step into the reception room, you’re greeted by a warm and welcoming ambience.  Wooden flooring runs through into the sitting room, enhancing the sense of space and warmth.  Calming tones of green and a fireplace with log burner further create a cosy and stylish atmosphere in this versatile room, which could have a number of uses including a playroom, snug or home office.

The sitting room is a contemporary setting, decorated in a neutral colour palette and with plenty of space for a comfy sofa or two, plus additional furniture.   A large under-stairs storage cupboard is perfect for hiding away any clutter.  It’s a lovely room for relaxing in after a busy day or spending time with friends and family. 

Glazed double doors lead through to a modern and stylish kitchen that has underfloor heating.  Featuring sleek white cabinetry with wooden worktops, delightful Moroccan-influenced splashbacks and contrasting dark grey floor tiles, it’s a fantastic space which feels like the real heart of this home.  A skylight and large French doors introduce plenty of natural light, as well as providing handy access to the patio – perfect for summer entertaining and seamless indoor-outdoor living.   Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas hob and wall-mounted stainless-steel hood, a dishwasher, a washing machine and there is space for a fridge-freezer.  The dining area has ample space for a table and chairs, providing the perfect spot for enjoying meals with family and friends.  Completing the downstairs is a handy modern cloakroom.

Upstairs are three, well-proportioned bedrooms – two double bedrooms and a generous single.  Decorated in pretty pastel tones, each bedroom is light and airy with a neutral colour carpet.   The double bedroom to the front of the house has retained lovely period features, including a fireplace and picture rail, and all three bedrooms provide a spacious and calm space for relaxing.  The family bathroom features a white suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, and striking geometric floor tiles.

Outside, is a low-maintenance south-west facing garden, measuring 124’ in length and featuring both lawned and patio areas.  A summerhouse/potential office with power and light provides useful and versatile additional space, as well as a shed for storage.  It’s a great garden for entertaining family and friends during the summer months, with zones for seating as well as for children to play.  The fenced front garden is shingled and low maintenance. A car park is located across the road.

If you are looking for a period property that’s in great condition and a short stroll from the station, this lovely cottage is well worth a viewing.
