This property is a Grade II listed former public house located on High Street in Gosmore, Hertfordshire. The listing price is £550,000. The property features three bedrooms and one bathroom, and spans approximately 2,929 square feet. The provided photographs reveal that the property is in need of extensive renovation. While it possesses some period features and character, the interior requires modernization and updating. The exterior of the building is also showing signs of age and potential repair requirements. The current layout of the property appears to be suitable for conversion to a residential dwelling. The property comes with a small paved outdoor area, rather than a garden. The location is reasonably good in the highly sought after village of Gosmore, with proximity to local amenities, schools, and the Hitchin train station. However, the immediate street environment could be improved. Considering the significant renovation work needed, the list price seems somewhat ambitious in comparison to other properties in the area, especially considering the lack of a sizeable garden or plot of land. Prospective buyers should factor in substantial refurbishment costs and weigh these against the property’s potential once renovated and converted. The location, despite not being idyllic, is a strong selling point in a desirable village location and relatively close proximity to excellent train links. The property is only suitable for buyers who are prepared to undertake a substantial amount of modernisation, and willing to factor the refurbishment cost into their budget.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
