Property Insight Set back behind a hedge-screened frontage on a quiet Royston road, this detached family home has been extended to the side to create a generous footprint of around 1,300 sq ft, and now offers a rare blank canvas in a settled residential position. The accommodation has been added to thoughtfully over the years, with a side extension housing a utility room, a further study that could be utilised as a further bedroom, and a garage alongside the main house. While the kitchen and shower room have already been updated, much of the interior is ready for redecoration, making this an ideal purchase for buyers wanting to put their own stamp on a home. Offered with No Upward Chain. A canopy porch opens into an entrance hall, with a ground-floor cloakroom off to one side and stairs rising to the first floor. The principal reception is a well-proportioned lounge running the depth of the house, centred on a marble fireplace with a gas fire and opening through double doors to a separate dining room, which in turn looks out over the rear garden and retains a built-in dresser. At the heart of the ground floor, the kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with white gloss handleless units, grey worktops, an induction hob and a double oven, with a patterned tiled floor, room for a breakfast table and a door to the garden. Beyond the main rooms, two ground floor studies make a great option for a further 4th bedroom plus a utility room in the side extension, provides genuinely flexible space for home working and storage. Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms, two of them doubles fitted with sliding wardrobes, served by a shower room with a corner enclosure, vanity unit and WC. Outside is where the home comes into its own: a deep, mature rear garden laid mainly to lawn, framed by established trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders, with a paved terrace beneath a covered veranda immediately off the house. To the front, a block-paved driveway sits alongside the garage, providing off-road parking and useful storage. A rare opportunity to secure an extended, chain-free detached home in a settled Royston position, ready to be shaped to your own taste.

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.
