Property Details

Property Insight:

This four-bedroom, detached property is situated on a generous corner plot, just a short walk from Hitchin town centre and outstanding local schools.  A show home when it was built in the 1950s, the house has been thoughtfully extended in recent times to create a superb home for modern family life and enjoys views over the surrounding countryside.

Stepping into the hallway, the first impression is of a welcoming and much-loved family home. To your right is a spacious sitting room, which feels cosy despite its generous size.  Large windows and glazed double doors to the garden introduce plenty of natural light, and a brick fireplace provides a wonderful focal point.  There’s ample space for a couple of comfy sofas, making it the perfect setting for cosy evenings in front of the fire with family and friends, or just relaxing after a hectic day.

To the left of the hallway is a generous and stylish, open-plan kitchen/diner. This inviting and contemporary space forms part of a recent extension and feels like the real heart of the home.  The kitchen features sleek, white gloss cabinetry with Oak worktops and a coordinating central island with integrated induction hob and overhead light feature.  The double electric oven is also integrated and there is space for a fridge-freezer and dishwasher.  Blue, Moroccan-inspired splashbacks create a colourful and fun accent, complemented by a blue feature wall.  A lovely feature of the kitchen is the pantry with barn-style sliding doors, providing plenty of additional storage for keen chefs.  The kitchen/diner is both stylish and practical – and perfect for hosting friends and family.  The dining area has ample space, and is lovely and bright thanks to its large window and skylights

Located behind the kitchen is a handy utility room which has garden access via a part-glazed door (perfect if you have a four-legged friend), plus a modern shower room with contemporary white suite – both handy additions for any busy family.  Also located on the ground floor is a versatile double bedroom, which could also be repurposed as a fantastic home office, playroom or craft room – there really are countless possibilities for this well-proportioned space.  Finally on the ground floor is a study which enjoys a dual aspect and view of the garden.

Upstairs are three bedrooms – two of which are spacious doubles - and the other a generous single.  All the rooms are welcoming and nicely decorated, creating a tranquil zone for relaxing.  The family bathroom is a bright room, thanks to its double windows, and has been recently renovated.  It features a contemporary white suite with full-size bath and plenty of storage.

The garden is a wonderful feature of this lovely home – wrapping around the property, it is mainly laid to patio but also features a raised, decked seating area (perfect for summer entertaining) plus a variety of beds and secluded areas, making it versatile and full of interest.  There is also a greenhouse with raised beds for those keen to grow their own.  To the front, the property has a block-paved driveway with space for multiple vehicles, plus a garage.

Perfect for modern family living, this spacious home is a short stroll from Hitchin’s vibrant town centre and excellent local schools.  We guarantee this property won’t be on the market for long!
