Description

A truly distinctive Grade II* listed home with an exceptional history, positioned within one of Hitchin's most characterful and sought-after historic streets.

105 Bancroft is a particularly special period property, combining an extraordinary architectural heritage with the practicality of a comfortable three-bedroom home. The building forms part of a historic group of properties along Bancroft and is officially recognised as Grade II* listed, with Historic England identifying its origins as a historic timber-framed house dating from the medieval period.

Stepping inside, the property retains an appealing wealth of period character, complemented by well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. The elegant reception room provides an inviting centrepiece to the home, featuring a bay window and open fireplace, while the bedrooms offer comfortable and versatile accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from its own feature fireplace, adding further character to this remarkable home.

The accommodation is complemented by a well-appointed kitchen, family bathroom and separate shower room, together with useful storage throughout. Outside, a private, low-maintenance garden provides an attractive space to enjoy, with parking available.

The property also has a fascinating and unusual history. Historical records associate 105 Bancroft with commercial use and the building's heritage includes connections with William Ransom and the historic manufacture and distilling of herbs in Hitchin. Planning records confirm that the property was subsequently the subject of an approved change of use from commercial B2 use to a residential C3 dwelling in 2010.

Today, that history gives the property an individuality rarely found in the modern housing market, whilst its central Bancroft position places Hitchin's extensive range of shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities within easy reach. Hitchin railway station is approximately 0.7 miles away, providing regular rail connections to London and beyond.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely historic Hitchin property, offering an exceptional combination of architectural character, fascinating heritage and highly convenient town-centre living.
