Connells says ..
An excellent opportunity for a first time buyer to purchase a central freehold Victorian property. Situated just a five minute walk from town and a 10 minute walk to the station. Courtyard garden to the rear.
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom terraced property in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Its location is a strong point, situated within walking distance of Hitchin town centre and the railway station, offering easy access to amenities and excellent transport links to London and other major cities. The surrounding area also benefits from highly-rated schools. However, the property itself is in clear need of significant modernisation and renovation. The internal photographs reveal dated décor, worn carpets, and several areas that appear to require repair or updating. The small courtyard garden offers some outdoor space but isn’t extensive. The list price, while possibly competitive in the current market, does not fully reflect the substantial investment required to bring the property to a desirable living standard. Prospective buyers should carefully consider the costs associated with renovations before making an offer. This property is likely to appeal to buyers with DIY skills or who have a budget that allows for significant refurbishment. Overall, buyers should thoroughly survey the property and factor in renovation costs before making a decision
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
