The Gatehouse is a three double bedroom cottage dating back to the early 1400’s. Recognised as being one of the earliest surviving properties remaining in the town, this superbly presented home had a complete scheme of renovation in 2009. A testament to the period, the standout Grade II* listed timber framed building has an interesting history, once protecting the market town of Hitchin from foe. Originally known to be a hall house in design, subsequent additions have been added to give it the functionality it possesses today, as a cottage. Features include oak beams and doors, an open plan kitchen/dining room, secure off street parking and a courtyard garden. The Gate house proudly proclaims Mr Ransom’s association here as the founder of the earliest independent pharmaceutical company in 1846 who since had a local school named after him.
The accommodation offers a large entrance hall with cloakroom and storage that flows through and leads to a rear entrance lobby, utility room and stairs that lead down to the basement. The main accommodation on this floor is a wonderful bay fronted living room with inglenook fireplace and a kitchen/dining room with ample work surfaces. On the first floor there are two large bedrooms, a family bathroom and additional shower room. The second floor houses the third bedroom. Outside there is a gated communal entrance leading to the rear of the property which offers two parking spaces and a courtyard cottage garden.
Hitchin is a charming medieval market town and has many fine Tudor and Georgian buildings, particularly around the market square. Near to the market square stands the large medieval parish church of St Mary. The town provides good shopping as well as a swimming pool, football team, two theatres, a wide variety of restaurants and pubs and highly regarded girls and boys schools. There is also a mainline railway station providing direct access to Kings Cross and Cambridge.
