7 Bed Detached House For Sale

A seven bedroom detached former convent with two separate dwellings for multi generational families, with two garages, gated driveway parking and approximately 0.43 acres of landscaped gardens within walking distance of the town centre and station in Royston. The property was formerly used as a convent and includes a flint clad building which is believed to date back several hundred years and includes a priest hole in the attic. A red brick extension was added to this original building by the nuns about 18 years ago.

The vendors purchased the property in 2024 and have undertaken a comprehensive restoration and renovation programme which included rewiring and replumbing the property and upgrading the insulation throughout. The vendors also converted an attached former chapel and adapted a single storey rear extension to link this to the main house creating a self contained apartment or annexe which could be used as part of the main house if desired but which also works for multi generational families with a five bedroom main house at the front and a self contained two bedroom apartment in the rear extension allowing families to live together while maintaining some independence.
