<p><strong>Property Insight</strong></p><p>An end-of-terrace Victorian home that has been extended and refurbished throughout, pairing period character with a clean, contemporary finish, and positioned within walking distance of Royston's town centre and mainline station. The red-brick elevations, bay windows and plantation shutters give the property immediate kerb appeal, while inside the accommodation has been reworked to run to around 1,278 sq ft across three floors, with a rear extension housing a generous kitchen. Offered freehold and presented ready to move into, the home strikes a considered balance between original detail and modern comfort, and gains further flexibility from a basement level that lends itself to storage or a hobby space.</p><p>The entrance hall sets the tone, laid with striking black-and-white patterned floor tiles beneath a striped runner rising to the first floor. To the front, the lounge takes a bay window fitted with shutters and centres on an exposed brick chimney breast, opening through to a dining room with a second brick chimney breast, an open fireplace and fitted alcove shelving. Wood-effect flooring runs through these connected spaces, giving the ground floor an easy, sociable flow. Beyond lies the kitchen, fitted with navy shaker-style units, pale stone worktops and a herringbone-tiled splashback, with an integrated double oven, gas hob and extractor. Aluminium bi-fold doors open the room onto the rear patio, a rear lobby with fitted cupboards links back through the home, and a ground-floor shower room completes this level.</p><p>Upstairs, the layout provides three bedrooms served by a family bathroom, the principal room to the rear with a dressing area, and the two further bedrooms carrying the same crisp, well-presented finish and shutters found throughout. Back downstairs, the basement offers around 215 sq ft of additional space, useful as a cellar, gym or workshop. Outside, the landscaped rear garden has been designed for low-maintenance family living, with an Indian sandstone patio stepping down to an area of lawn, all enclosed by timber fencing and screened for privacy. There is an additional room underneath the garden that could be used for storage/gym or workshop. To the front and side, a private driveway provides off-road parking for 2 cars. A characterful yet thoroughly updated home in one of Royston's established residential roads, well placed for schools, town and the station.</p><p><strong>At a Glance</strong><br/><strong>Type:</strong> End-of-terrace house, freehold<br/><strong>Size:</strong> Approximately 1,278 sq ft across three floors, including a basement of around 215 sq ft<br/><strong>Bedrooms:</strong> 3<br/><strong>Bathrooms:</strong> 2 — first-floor family bathroom plus ground-floor shower room<br/><strong>Reception Rooms:</strong> 2 — bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room, both with exposed brick chimney breasts<br/><strong>Kitchen:</strong> Navy shaker-style units, pale stone worktops, herringbone splashback, integrated double oven and gas hob, bi-fold doors to the garden<br/><strong>Outside:</strong> Landscaped rear garden with Indian sandstone patio and lawn<br/><strong>Parking:</strong> Private driveway for 2 cars<br/><strong>Station:</strong> Royston, direct to London Kings Cross from 38 minutes</p><p><strong>Location – Royston</strong></p><p>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.</p>
