Description

This detached property has not been on the market in nearly four decades, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled on a generous westerly facing plot, it provides ample off-street parking alongside a functional garage. Located in a well-established residential area, the home is conveniently close to the railway station, schools for all ages, and the town centre, making it an attractive option for families. The interior boasts a welcoming entrance hall leading to a dual-aspect sitting room that opens directly into the landscaped garden. A separate dining room with a charming bay window enhances the living space. The kitchen/breakfast room includes practical features but could benefit from modernisation. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms offer lovely views towards Hitchin's town centre, alongside an eaves study and a recently updated bathroom. This property holds significant potential for remodelling and extending, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Its well-sized rooms and thoughtful layout create possibilities for creating additional living space or enhancing existing areas. Given these factors, early viewings are encouraged to explore its transformative potential.
