Description

Located just a short stroll from Royston Town Centre, this period semi-detached house combines charming historical features with significant renovation potential. Upon entry, the inviting hallway reveals an original bread oven and chimney breast, highlighting the property’s rich character. The spacious living room benefits from dual-aspect windows and a bay window that invites ample natural light, fostering a welcoming atmosphere.

At the rear, you'll find a sizeable kitchen alongside a utility area and a dining room that is perfect for hosting gatherings. The open historic beams enhance its character and provide a lovely link between spaces. On the upper floor, there are three double bedrooms served by a family bathroom; the principal bedroom is particularly roomy with dual-aspect windows and built-in storage.

An additional highlight is the expansive cellar, which presents an excellent opportunity for conversion into functional space, such as an extra living area or office (subject to necessary permissions).

The exterior features a bright rear garden ideal for landscaping projects, while the front includes off-road parking and a detached garage. Although modernization is required throughout, this property offers buyers a rare chance to tailor their own unique home within reach of local amenities and transport options.
