Property Details

Property Insight:

This well-loved, three-bedroom property occupies a lovely plot on a tranquil cul-de-sac.  As you step into the neutrally decorated entrance hall, the house immediately feels welcoming, although in need of some updating. 

The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the garden and is a well-proportioned room.  Painted a sunny yellow hue, it features a range of wooden cabinets with neutral work surfaces and tiled splashbacks.  The floor covering is linoleum, and the integrated appliances include a gas hob, wall-mounted double electric Indesit oven and fridge-freezer, plus there is space for a dishwasher and washing machine.  With room for a table and chairs, it’s a lovely bright setting for enjoying relaxed family meals.  A part-glazed door leads to the conservatory and introduces plenty of natural light.

The dining room is located next to the kitchen and is decorated in a warm neutral shade with a striking teal carpet.  Wonderfully bright, thanks to its large, south-facing window, there is space for a large dining table and chairs, as well as additional furniture.  It’s the ideal place for entertaining friends or hosting special occasions with the family. 

The sitting room is generously sized and well-proportioned, with a feature fireplace.  The neutral décor and carpet help create a calm ambience and, with ample space for a couple of comfy sofas, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day and spend time with loved ones.  Large patio doors leading out to the conservatory introduce plenty of light.  The conservatory is a versatile space which enjoys garden views.  With French doors opening on to the garden, it’s perfect for indoor-outdoor living and a lovely asset during the summer months.  A handy cloakroom completes the downstairs.

Upstairs are three spacious and airy double bedrooms.  All are well-proportioned and benefit from built-in wardrobes and large windows.  The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room which could benefit from an update.  The family bathroom has great potential but could also do with modernising - it currently features a pink suite, including a full-size bath, with coordinating tiles and carpet.

Outside is a mature and secluded walled garden which features a large patio area as well as a lawn and vegetable patch.   It’s great for entertaining during the summer or simply relaxing in the sunshine.  To the front of the property is a spacious front garden with lawned areas and borders, as well as a garage with driveway and off-street parking.

Located on the outskirts of Hitchin, the property has lots of potential and benefits from being within walking distance of Hitchin town centre with all its amenities, but is also close to the lovely village of St Ippolyts with its popular Rusty Gun restaurant and Bird In hand pub.  With the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside on your doorstep, it’s the perfect location to enjoy leisurely Sunday walks followed by a pub lunch.  This is a fantastic opportunity to create a really special family home, and the property has the additional benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Location:

Hitchin continues to be one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable towns.  With excellent transport links (fast trains to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge just 33 minutes), Hitchin often features as one of the best places to live in the UK.  The cosmopolitan town centre offers a wide selection of independent boutiques, pubs and restaurants, as well as a market, and has a thriving local community.  Hitchin also benefits from several schools which are rated outstanding, including the historic and renowned Hitchin Girls’ and Hitchin Boys’ schools.
