The first floor of Merchant House welcomes three additional rooms, flaunting sash windows and one room benefiting from an en-suite.

The rest of the bedrooms are accommodated on the top floor, one possessing a useful studio, and both sharing a family bathroom.

Interestingly, the house's extensive accommodation stretches right down to the cellar, inhabiting a versatile multi-purpose room, a separate utility chamber and even a wine cellar, all enjoying an infusion of natural light.

Meanwhile, outdoors, the townhouse features a low maintenance, walled courtyard garden which comes complete with its own brick-built shed.

This private outdoor space is complemented by the allocated parking available at the rear of the building, accessed by a vehicular gateway from Bancroft.

Merchant House stands proudly amidst the Tudor and Georgian architectural splendour of Hitchin, a charming medieval market town, which also offers a swimming pool, a football team, two theatres and a notable variety of restaurants and pubs.
