Local insights:
Baldock High Street
by Richard Kelly
Baldock, a historic market town in Hertfordshire, offers a variety of properties, ranging from charming period cottages and Georgian townhouses to more modern family homes and newly built developments. The older properties, particularly those in the town centre or near the High Street, may come with challenges such as the upkeep of period features, aging roof structures, or the need for updates to plumbing and electrical systems. Newer homes, especially those in the more recent developments on the town’s outskirts, may require checks to ensure they meet all current expectations.
Baldock is well-connected by road and rail, with direct train services to London from Baldock Station, making it an ideal base for commuters. The town offers a mix of local amenities, including shops, cafes, schools, and leisure facilities, while the surrounding countryside provides plenty of green spaces
