Description

This unique Victorian property, initially established in the mid-19th century and reimagined in 1988, presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. With four spacious bedrooms and approximately 2,080 sq. ft. of living space, the home retains numerous character details like exposed beams and brickwork that can be highlighted through thoughtful updates. The ground floor includes an entrance hall leading to a utility room, four double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom boasts its own en-suite bathroom complemented by picturesque front-facing windows. Ascend the staircase from the hall to discover a versatile first-floor landing, ideal for creating an office or cozy reading nook. The expansive open-plan sitting/dining room (27ft by 23ft) makes an impressive statement with its vaulted ceiling featuring a Velux window and ample natural light streaming through triple windows showcasing scenic countryside views. Adjacent is the kitchen/breakfast room, equipped with oak cabinetry and a central island that allows for culinary creativity. Externally, the property benefits from multiple outdoor spaces including a roof terrace suitable for entertaining, as well as additional land at the rear that requires landscaping but offers potential for further development or gardening endeavors. Located in Shillington—a village within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—this property is not only appealing for its scenic locale but also its proximity to local amenities and transport links to Hitchin (7 miles away). This home offers significant potential for customization and value enhancement.
