Property Details

Property Insight:

This two-bedroom, semi-detached property is situated on Keats Way, within a mile of Hitchin's mainline station, and is offered to the market with no onward chain. It's a genuine doer-upper, in need of updating from top to bottom, but with a sensible layout, a detached garage, and scope to extend or convert the loft (subject to planning permission being obtainable) - a great opportunity for anyone looking to put their own stamp on a home in this popular location.

The living room is a well-proportioned space running the full depth of the house, with room for both a seating area and a dining table, and a staircase leading up to the first floor. It's currently decorated throughout in neutral tones and carpeted, and would benefit from a full refresh, but the bones of the room are sound and it's easy to picture how it could look with some fresh paint and flooring.

The kitchen/diner is fitted with a dated range of wall and base units and a door out to the garden. It would benefit from a complete refit, but it's a practical size with room for a table for everyday meals - a great space to reimagine once the rest of the ground floor comes together.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both currently decorated but in need of updating, along with a family bathroom fitted with a vintage-style coloured suite that would benefit from full modernisation. As with the rest of the house, there's a real opportunity here to create something special once refreshed.

Outside, the rear garden is a good size and enclosed, offering plenty of potential once the lawn and borders are brought back under control, while a detached garage to the side provides secure parking or useful storage. With scope to modernise throughout, extend or convert the loft (STPP), and the benefit of no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to create a home to their own taste in a popular part of Hitchin, just a mile from the station.
