Rook Tree Lane, Hitchin SG5

Charming Victorian Cottage | External Garden Office | Fully Refurbished | No Chain | Large Garden | Private Setting | Semi Rural Living | 39 Mins Train to London

A beautifully refurbished 2-bedroom Victorian cottage, offered chain-free and ready to move into, located in the sought-after semi-rural town of Stotfold. Combining period charm with modern upgrades, this home features a large south-facing garden backing onto open meadows and the River Ivel, off-street parking, and a versatile garden office.

The property has undergone a complete interior renovation, including a brand-new fitted kitchen with unused appliances and a refreshed bathroom with bath/shower flexibility. The living space retains character features including a fireplace, while upstairs offers two well-proportioned bedrooms filled with natural light.

Externally, the property truly stands out. The plot extends 50 metres in length, with an approximate 275m2 private garden and driveway. The mature, south-facing garden offers multiple patio areas and backs directly onto open countryside, providing a peaceful and private setting rarely found.

A detached garden office (former wash house) adds valuable additional space, ideal for remote working, a studio, or hobby room.

Further benefits include off-street parking for 2–3 vehicles, a quiet yet well-connected location, and excellent potential to extend (STPP), making this a home with both immediate appeal and future scope.

Stotfold offers a strong community feel with local amenities, countryside walks, and well-regarded schools nearby. Arlesey station (approx. 2.5 miles) provides direct services to London St Pancras in 40 minutes, with easy access to the A1/A1(M).

Ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or commuters seeking a blend of countryside living and convenience.
