A seven-bedroom Grade II-listed townhouse in Hitchin has been put on the market for £850k.

The freehold home, which Country Properties estate agents say has potential for commercial use, is located in the heart of Hitchin town centre.

With almost 2,900 sq ft of living space, the property is arranged over three floors and includes a separate one-bedroom annexe.

The rear of the property features a separate one-bedroom apartment with an open plan living/kitchen room, bedroom with built-in wardrobes and shower room.

Outside, the property has two parking spaces, an electric car charging point, and space for a bin store and shed.

Estate agents Country Properties stated the central location and layout of the property mean there is "tremendous potential" to convert into commercial use, subject to planning consents.

However, they have noted that due to the property having previously been used for commercial purposes, the top two floors are currently leasehold, with the freehold belonging to the ground floor and sold with the property.

The same applies to the rear apartment.

Country Properties said: "Don't miss your chance to view this exquisite property - it's a true gem waiting to be discovered."

The property is an 18-minute walk from Hitchin train station, which provides direct access to London Kings Cross, St Pancras, and Cambridge.
