Property Insight Set back from the road behind a mature beech and a deep block-paved driveway, this individual detached family home extends to approximately 1,863 sq ft across two floors, with an integral double garage and a powered garden studio and separate workshop tucked into the grounds behind.
It sits within walking distance of the town and its mainline station, in one of Royston's most established residential settings.
The heart of the ground floor is a slate-floored entrance hall with a limed staircase rising to the first floor.
To one side, a substantial dual-aspect lounge runs over 21 feet, with a feature fireplace and French doors opening straight onto the terrace.
The kitchen sits at the centre of the plan, fitted with white units and worktops, a gas hob and eye-level double oven, and flows through a curved archway into a light-filled dining and garden room beneath a lantern roof, with its own doors to the garden.
A separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom complete the practical layout. Upstairs, four bedrooms sit off a bright landing.
The principal bedroom is a dual-space room with fitted mirrored wardrobes, an adjoining dressing room and a fully tiled en-suite shower room, while three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a separate bath and shower.
Outside, the tiered rear garden combines a paved terrace, curved brick-edged raised beds and a lawn framed by established planting, with the timber studio - powered and lit - offering a genuine home office or creative space beyond the house itself.
A rare opportunity in one of Royston's most established residential settings.

Location – Royston Royston is a traditional English town in Hertfordshire, on the border of Cambridgeshire and 14 miles from Cambridge.
It grew from the crossing of two ancient thoroughfares, Roman and prehistoric, and carries a wealth of rich heritage - including its own cave, revealed in the 18th Century, carved out of chalk beneath the crossroads in the centre of town.
The town enjoys numerous green open spaces, including the renowned Therfield Heath nature reserve, and lies on the northern slopes of the Hertfordshire Chalk Downs.
The town centre offers a market and a high street of bustling shops alongside a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, bars and public houses, with supermarkets on the outskirts, doctors' surgeries, dentists, schools and a leisure centre.
Clubs and activities range from tennis and rugby to hockey and golf.
Transport links are excellent: The town sits on the A10, with the A1M and M11 each within a 15-minute drive, and a mainline station running direct to London Kings Cross in as little as 38 minutes.
