Description
A barn conversion with allocated parking for one car in the town centre of Hitchin. The barn was converted in 2007 into a two bedroom cottage with one ground floor bedroom with an en suite shower room and a first floor bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The porch has a cloakroom and built-in storage and leads into the open plan over 39 ft. sitting/dining room which has a high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The sitting/dining room has doors to the kitchen and the main bedroom, and stairs to the first floor bedroom, and a mezzanine.
The property is situated in a gated, block paved courtyard. There is a required contribution from the owners of 6A of approximately £40 per year for maintenance of the gates. The allocated parking space is in the front of the barn.
The barn is in the curtilage of 6 Tilehouse Street which is a listed building and it is in the conservation area.
Reception Rooms and Kitchen
The open plan sitting/dining room has oak flooring throughout and oak staircases at either end. One staircase leads to a landing with a door to the first floor bedroom. The other oak staircase in the dining area leads to a mezzanine over the kitchen which is used as a study. The kitchen is fully fitted with a range of built-in units with complementary splashbacks and work surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar, and a one and a half bowl sink and drainer set under a window to the front. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, a gas hob with an extractor over, a mircrowave, a fridge and dishwasher.
Situation and Schooling
The property is within a mile of the station, and a range of shops, restaurants, public houses, theatres and leisure facilities are within walking distance. It is also within walking distance of Hitchin Boys' School and Hitchin Girls' Schools as well as Samuel Lucas Primary School, all of which are highly rated by Ofsted.
