Whinbush Grove, Hitchin, SG5

A distinctly unique and characterful cottage, believed to date back to the 1850s, and part of a locally admired row of colourful period homes. Lovingly cared for by its current owner for many years, the property retains much of its original charm, complemented by tasteful contemporary touches. While already well maintained, it also offers exciting potential for further enhancement or extension (STPP), ideal for those seeking a more open-plan lifestyle.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall leading into a stunning 21ft open-plan living/dining room, featuring twin fireplaces and a useful understairs cupboard. This flows into a bright kitchen/breakfast room with a part conservatory-style roof and double doors opening onto the rear garden. The ground floor also includes a family bathroom.

Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy original fireplaces, and all benefit from access to an upstairs W.C.

Outside, the property is accessed via a shared private road, that leads to a large shingle driveway offering off-street parking for numerous vehicles and a functional front garden space, often used by residents as an additional area to relax. Subject to relevant planning, there is also scope to add a garage or studio/home office.

To the rear is a low-maintenance, block-paved courtyard garden with a small, decked area and gate leading to pedestrian access.

Whinbush Grove is a highly sought-after location, known locally for its charming row of eight colourful and characterful cottages. With just ten properties in total along this quiet enclave, homes here are rarely available. Its central location is exceptionally popular just a short stroll from the town centre, mainline station, local amenities, and within the catchment area for excellent schools.
