Property Details

Property Insight:

This three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a fantastic renovation opportunity in a superb location – just a short stroll from Hitchin’s cosmopolitan town centre. It’s a great option if you’re looking for single storey, accessible living, but it also offers potential to extend (subject to planning permission) or reconfigure to suit your needs. This is a probate sale which has already been granted, and the property is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Entering the incredibly spacious hallway, the property feels bright and open.  The bungalow is neutrally decorated throughout, although it could benefit from new carpets and some renovation work.  Three cupboards in the entrance hall, including a large walk-in cupboard, offer an impressive amount of storage.  The large, L-shaped sitting room enjoys a double-aspect and is a wonderfully bright space, with a fireplace with wooden mantel providing a lovely focal point.  There is plenty of space to configure to suit your needs and it’s the perfect spot for relaxing after a busy day.

Leading on from the sitting room is a spacious kitchen/dining room which spans the rear of the property.  This is another bright, dual-aspect room with plenty of natural light thanks to its large window and glazed door which leads to the garden.  The kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry in a pale wood tone with complementary light worktops, white tiled splashbacks and neutral coloured flooring.  Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor hood, electric oven and fridge-freezer, plus there is space for a dishwasher and washing machine.  It’s a practical space for preparing meals whilst enjoying views over the garden.  And, at over 25’ in length, the room has ample space to add a large dining table with chairs plus additional furniture – perfect for enjoying meals with family and friends.  The door to the patio provides an ideal set up for alfresco dining outside during the summer months.   

At the front of the bungalow is the principal bedroom.  Dual aspect, it is a light and airy, spacious double bedroom which features built-in wardrobes and dressing table.  The second bedroom is another well-proportioned, airy room with built-in wardrobes and dressing table.  The third bedroom is a smaller single bedroom with outside access that could be easily repurposed as a study or craft room.  A well-proportioned bathroom featuring white sanitaryware and a large shower completes the downstairs.

Outside, the back garden is mainly laid to patio, featuring flower beds and a beautiful blossom tree.  It’s a low maintenance space which is perfect for summer gatherings with family and friends.  To the front of the property is a sizeable front garden with wrap-around lawn and established borders, which give the property a lovely green outlook.  To the side of the property is a driveway with garage. 

This bungalow with its spacious footprint presents a fantastic opportunity - either for moving into with its current layout, or for remodelling to create your perfect family home.
