Tilehouse Street, Hitchin, SG5 2DW

‘Priory Cottage’ occupies an enviable position on what is widely regarded as one of Hitchin’s most picturesque and sought-after residential roads. This charming Grade II listed Georgian cottage is truly something special, effortlessly combining a wealth of character features with tasteful modern enhancements and a thoughtfully designed extension that creates a seamless blend of old and new.

Lovingly cared for by the current owners, the property has been cherished not only for its elegance and charm, but also for its superb central location, just moments from Hitchin’s historic market square, independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities.

Homes of this nature rarely become available, and what makes ‘Priory Cottage’ even more unique is the valuable addition of allocated parking for one vehicle to the rear, complete with an EV charging point.

The accommodation begins via a welcoming entrance hall positioned to the rear of the property, which the current owners use as the main entrance. Immediately off the hallway is a convenient downstairs W.C. From here, the home flows beautifully into a spacious and inviting living room, rich in character and centred around an attractive wood-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy focal point.

At the heart of the home is a stunning extended kitchen and dining space, thoughtfully designed to offer both practicality and style. Fitted with a range of integrated appliances alongside ample wall and base mounted units, the room is flooded with natural light thanks to an architecturally designed aluminium framed glass roof, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. A door provides direct access onto the rear patio garden, making it an ideal space for entertaining and modern family living. Leading from the kitchen is a practical utility area with space and services for white goods.

The first floor continues to showcase the property’s charm, with exposed brick detailing adding further character to the landing. There are three bedrooms in total, one of which is currently utilised as a home office. The principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned and benefits from fitted wardrobes, whilst also enjoying Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom. The bathroom itself is beautifully presented and fitted with a modern four-piece suite serving all bedrooms.

Outside, the rear garden has been carefully landscaped to create a peaceful and low-maintenance outdoor space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Fully patioed and enclosed by attractive brick walls, the garden also benefits from a secure gate providing access to rare and invaluable allocated parking space. In addition, there is a useful external garden store.

A truly exceptional home that must be viewed in person to fully appreciate the charm, character and lifestyle it has to offer.

Tilehouse Street is widely regarded as one of Hitchin’s most sought-after and picturesque residential roads, ideally positioned in the heart of the town.
