Property Details

Property insight:

A rare chance to secure a true renovation project in Hitchin. This two-bedroom detached bungalow, set on a generous corner plot with a double garage, offers huge potential for transformation into a stunning family home. With planning permission already granted, the hard work has been started – now it’s ready for your vision.

Located on a spacious corner plot, the property benefits from a double garage and sizeable front garden.  Entering via an enclosed porch and glazed internal door, the entrance hall to the property is wide and flooded with natural light.  The flooring throughout the main living areas is beautiful, original parquet, ready to be restored to its former glory. 

An internal hallway leads through to the large sitting room – an enviably large space which is open plan to the dining room.  Large windows introduce plenty of light and a fireplace provides a focal point.  The dining room has both access to kitchen and direct access to the terrace via large sliding doors, providing a practical flow and fantastic opportunities for hosting friends and family.  Although in need of refurbishment, it’s easy to see how fantastic the proportions are and the vast potential to make this an amazing family living space.  The kitchen is also accessible via the hallway and requires updating.  Although compact, there is plenty of scope for reconfiguration.  A glazed door leads through to a large utility room, providing further opportunity for a new layout.

The two double bedrooms are well-proportioned, with one currently featuring built-in cabinetry and a concealed wash basin.  Large windows make both bedrooms lovely and bright.  Completing the internal layout are a family bathroom with pale peach suite, including a full-size bath, and a large cloakroom. 

Outside, there is a block-paved patio which extends to the large, wrap-around garden.  Currently rather overgrown, the garden is brimming with landscaping potential to become a real asset.

Sold with planning permission, this neglected gem is offered with no onward chain.  This is a rare opportunity for those looking for a serious renovation project in one of Hitchin’s sought-after locations.

Planning Permissions - 24/02221/FPH. The property benefits from exciting potential, with approved plans for significant enhancements including a raised roof with front and rear dormer windows to create first-floor living space, conversion of the existing garage into a bright dining room with new windows, and a stylish open-sided porch. In addition, a new vehicular access off Hawthorn Close will further enhance convenience and accessibility.

“I can recommend the services of Wellington Evans unreservedly and without hesitation. James was consistently responsive, proactive and professional whilst also very personable. To us as purchasers, James felt like an honest broker between ourselves and the vendor. He worked brilliantly well with our solicitor, Elite Conveyancing, and the vendor, navigating a number of bumps along the road to achieve our completed transaction in around 2 months from initial viewing.”

“I used Wellington Evans to sell a property, they went above and beyond for what was a complicated process at times. We had used a different agency previously, and not had much interest. When WE came in, we made a plan to refresh the property and marketing approach which saw many more viewers and an offer. James was great at helping me figure out the next best move and the advice they gave from start to finish was excellent. Lovely, supportive and involved team, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again myself.”

“Best estate agent we’ve ever had. We went on a bit of a journey with our house and Nick was always positive, pro-active and completely open with us along the way. He and James are vastly experienced but their modern approach sets them apart. You can tell they really care about what they do. It’s not just about selling houses, it’s about helping people move home and doing what’s best for the situation. If you want an estate agent that’s in your corner, we’d recommend Nick and Wellington Evans in a heartbeat.”
