More than just a home. 105 Bancroft is a truly distinctive listed property offering an exciting combination of historic character, generous accommodation and exceptional flexibility.
With unusually spacious rooms and particularly impressive first-floor accommodation, the property could suit buyers looking to work from home, run a professional practice, create dedicated studio or office space, or explore an additional income opportunity, subject to the necessary consents.
The property has previously enjoyed mixed residential and business use, including a period as a bookshop, while planning records confirm an approved change of use from commercial B2 use to residential C3 in 2010.
Its fascinating history adds to its appeal. A historic timber-framed house with medieval origins, the property has connections with William Ransom and Hitchin's historic herb manufacturing and distilling industry.
Today, this remarkable home provides three bedrooms, generous living accommodation, a well-appointed kitchen, family bathroom and separate shower room, together with a private garden, parking and cellar.
Its central Bancroft position puts Hitchin's shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities close at hand, with the railway station approximately 0.7 miles away.

A fascinating piece of Hitchin's history - and a property with the potential to become something truly different.
