Description

This end-of-terrace house presents a valuable renovation opportunity in a quiet cul-de-sac, within easy walking distance of Baldock High Street and the train station. The property features three bedrooms and offers ample space for transformation, though it is currently in need of comprehensive refurbishment. The front porch welcomes you into a hallway leading to a sitting room with an existing living flame gas fire (untested) and under-stair storage. The generous kitchen/breakfast room, with rear aspect windows, is ready for modernization and could become a central gathering place once refurbished. Upstairs, the three bedrooms vary in size and still retain charming stained timber flooring, providing a solid foundation for cosmetic upgrades or reconfiguration to improve space utilization. The bathroom consists of essential fittings including a bath with shower attachment and low-level WC. Outside, the rear garden is primarily paved for low maintenance, but offers potential for landscaping or enhancements to create an inviting outdoor area. A garage en block nearby adds convenience to this investment property. Set in historic Baldock—known for its medieval roots and vibrant community—the location enhances the property's appeal with access to local amenities, good schools, and excellent transport links to both London and Cambridge. This house not only requires significant renovation but also offers promising potential as either a family home or rental investment.
