Property description

A Victorian brick under slate house situated in a row of similar cottages in the town centre of Hitchin.

Built in 1879, this cottage was the first home on Whinbush Grove to be painted, creating what is now a unique and colourful terrace of buildings in Hitchin. Originally a three-bedroom layout, the house has been modified by removing a wall and currently functions as a two bedroom home. The property has just over 900 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall with a staircase leading to the first floor landing, a sitting room, a kitchen/dining room, utility room, and a bathroom. The first floor provides two bedrooms, one with double windows over the front and the other overlooking the garden, and a cloakroom. The property is situated on a private, unadopted lane. To the front, there is pedestrian access, an old overgrown garage, and parking for one car. To the rear is an enclosed courtyard with a path that leads down to Whinbush Road.

Property details

The sitting room features double-glazed sash windows with internal shutters to the front and wood laminate flooring. In the kitchen/dining room, there is a range of units, a stainless steel sink, a wall-mounted gas boiler, and an understairs cupboard. The utility room includes built-in cupboards and a door leading to the garden, while the side aspect bathroom features a window. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has two front facing windows and a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two offers a rear window alongside additional cupboard storage.
