Property Insight Set within an attractive period terrace on Mill Road, this two-bedroom cottage has been extended and updated to create a bright, modern home behind a traditional buff-brick frontage. The standout is the rear kitchen extension, where a large roof lantern draws daylight deep into the ground floor, while vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams give both bedrooms real character. A basement adds useful space below, and a long rear garden with a timber shed completes the picture. Within easy reach of the town centre and Royston's mainline station, and offered with no upward chain, the property would suit first-time buyers, downsizers or those relocating from London. The front door opens into the dining room, where plantation-style shutters dress the front window. Beyond, the lounge flows openly into the kitchen, so the ground floor reads as one connected space, with recessed spotlights throughout. The kitchen is fitted with white gloss units, dark speckled worktops and sage green metro tiling, alongside an integrated oven, a hob beneath a stainless-steel chimney hood and a tall fridge-freezer housing. A breakfast bar peninsula provides casual seating facing into the lounge, and there is space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen opens directly onto the garden, and an understairs cupboard provides further storage. Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits to the front and comfortably takes a double bed, with its pitched ceiling and exposed beam lending the room a light, open feel. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and shares the same vaulted ceiling and beam. The bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, pedestal basin and WC, with part-tiled walls. Below the ground floor, the basement offers further space for storage. Outside, the front garden is gravelled behind a low brick wall, while the rear garden is laid mainly to lawn and fully fenced, with a paved area and timber shed at the far end.

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.
