Property Insight:

This semi-detached bungalow is located within the sought-after SG4 postcode – and within walking distance from Hitchin town centre and station.  Well-cared for by its previous owners, the bungalow could use a little cosmetic updating but offers a fantastic opportunity if you are looking for single-storey living or an opportunity to remodel and extend (subject to planning permission) to create a sizeable family home in a prime Hitchin location.

As you enter the property, it creates a positive first impression with its spacious entrance hall, which has neutral decor and carpet.  The living area is situated on the right-hand side of the property and comprises a large sitting room, kitchen and dining room, and benefits from its own separate hallway and external access.  The sitting room is generously sized with ample space for a couple of comfy sofas plus additional furniture.  Large patio doors provide garden views and lead to the terrace outside (perfect for indoor-outdoor living during the summer months), as well as provide plenty of natural light.  With its calming décor scheme and feature fireplace, the sitting room is a lovely place to relax and unwind or spend time with family and friends.

The kitchen is compact and modern, featuring sleek white cabinetry, grey marble-effect work surfaces and pale green walls.  It’s a practical setting for preparing meals and has a good amount of storage.  The electric oven and gas hob are integrated and there is a concealed extractor hood above, plus space for a washing machine and fridge-freezer.  The dining room is accessed via the hallway and has plenty of room for a table and chairs, making it ideal for both relaxed family meals or entertaining friends.

On the left-hand side of the property bungalow are two airy and well-proportioned double bedrooms.  The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and plenty of space.  The second bedroom is also a good size, and both rooms benefit from neutral carpets and attractive bow bay windows.  The shower room has been recently refurbished and features a modern white suite and fresh white scheme.  Completing the layout is a handy cloakroom with modern white sanitaryware, plus a useful airing cupboard.

Outside, the terraced, south-facing back garden is a lovely asset of the property.  The patio directly outside provides the perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee or summer drinks and barbecues with friends.  Steps wind round to a second patio and further steps to a lawn area . The garden is full of interest, including mature trees and shrubs plus a greenhouse for keen gardeners.  To the front of the property is a sizeable lawn plus a single garage with block-paved driveway and parking for multiple vehicles.

This well-loved bungalow is in a superb location and presents a fantastic opportunity, either for moving into with its current layout, or for extending and remodelling to create your perfect family home.
