1 Blacksmith Cottage Stevenage Road, Hitchin, SG4 7JA

Property Insight: As you step through the front door into the sitting room, the first thing that strikes you is the beautiful, exposed-brick inglenook fireplace.

A superb original feature with a log burner installed, it provides the perfect setting for cosy winter evenings in front of the fire.

The sitting room feels wonderfully cosy but also bright and open thanks to its light carpet and crisp, white décor which sets off the beautiful original beamwork in the room.

There’s ample space for a couple of comfy sofas and it’s an ideal room for relaxing after a busy day or spending time with family and friends.

Semi-open plan to the sitting room - located behind open beamwork - is the dining room. This light-flooded space also has white décor and benefits from a large window.

With plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, it’s an ideal setting for enjoying relaxed family meals or entertaining friends. Leading on from the dining room is a contemporary kitchen.

Tastefully finished with dove grey Shaker-style cabinetry, wooden work surfaces and white subway tile splashbacks, it feels modern yet in perfect keeping with the property.

Integrated appliances include a wall-mounted double electric oven, induction hob with stainless-steel extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge-freezer, plus there is space for a washing machine.

Two windows introduce plenty of light and it’s a lovely, practical setting for preparing meals.

A part-glazed door leads to the garden, facilitating alfresco dining and barbecues during the summer months. A large store cupboard provides handy additional storage.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the bathroom. This is another stylish room which has been renovated in a contemporary style which still works beautifully in the period setting.

Featuring a white heritage-style suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, finishing touches include a Crittall-style black shower screen and black towel radiator, plus inky toned subway wall tiles, which add a modern twist.

Upstairs, the character beamwork and neutral décor continue. The main bedroom is spacious and bright, with plenty of room to add furniture, and attractive feature brickwork.

Both bedrooms have a plush, light carpet, and the second bedroom features a built-in cupboard and is perfect as a single bedroom or home office.

A large under-eaves space provides a generous amount of storage.

Outside is a secluded and low-maintenance courtyard garden which is ready to be styled, and to the rear is a driveway with off-street parking.

If you’re searching for a property with unique character charm, this cottage is well-worth a viewing and has the benefit of being offered with no onward chain.
