Charming Grade Listed House In Hitchin Town Centre

A unique grade listed & blue plaque home with business & income potential

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.

Whether you're looking for a characterful home, substantial workspace, a potential home-based business or an opportunity to generate additional income, 105 Bancroft offers possibilities that are rarely found in a property of this age and location.

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