About
A spacious and well-proportioned two bedroom semi-detached home, positioned within a small and established development in a highly convenient Royston location, within walking distance of the town centre and railway station.
Offered with no onward chain, the property represents an excellent opportunity for first time buyers, downsizers or investors alike.
The home offers generous accommodation throughout, including a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom, two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal bedroom, family bathroom, private rear garden, garage en bloc and parking.
While perfectly liveable as it stands, the property would now benefit from some updating in areas, giving the next owner a fantastic opportunity to put their own stamp on the home and add value over time.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the ground floor living space.
There is also a useful downstairs cloakroom, ideal for guests and day-to-day convenience.
To the front of the property is the fitted kitchen, which offers a range of wall and base units, worktop space, tiled splashbacks, integrated oven and gas hob, along with space and plumbing for appliances.
The kitchen enjoys a front aspect window, allowing for good natural light. To the rear of the home is the spacious lounge/diner, a particular feature of the property.
This well-sized room provides plenty of space for both seating and dining furniture, making it a practical and versatile living area.
Sliding doors open directly onto the rear garden, helping to connect the living space with the outside. Upstairs, the property continues to offer generous accommodation.
There are two double bedrooms, both well proportioned.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is also a comfortable double and includes built-in storage.
A separate family bathroom completes the first floor, fitted with a bath, WC and wash hand basin.
Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden, arranged with a paved patio area leading onto lawn.
The garden offers a good degree of privacy and provides a lovely space for outdoor seating, entertaining or further landscaping. There is also gated side access leading to the front of the property.
The home further benefits from a garage en bloc, along with parking.
Evans Close is well placed for access into Royston town centre, which offers a wide range of everyday amenities, including shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and open green spaces.
Royston railway station is also within walking distance and provides direct services into both London Kings Cross and Cambridge, making the property particularly appealing for commuters.
Royston itself is a popular Hertfordshire market town, positioned close to the Cambridgeshire border and surrounded by attractive countryside.
The town is well regarded for its blend of convenience, transport links and community feel, with Therfield Heath, local sports clubs and a range of independent businesses all nearby.
With no onward chain, a desirable location, generous accommodation and excellent potential to improve, this is a superb opportunity to purchase a home in a sought-after Royston setting.
