4 bedroom detached house

Located a short walk from both Hitchin’s cosmopolitan town centre and train station, this family home has plenty to offer but does require some modernisation. However, as far as space and location goes, it’s an absolute gem.

Entering via the enclosed porch to the side of the property, to the left of the entrance hall is a spacious sitting room. Flooded with natural light, this lovely room has a large window as well as a feature fireplace and French doors leading out to the garden. With plenty of space for furniture, including a large comfy sofa or two, this bright and airy room is the perfect space for spending time together as a family or entertaining friends.

The dining room is another good-size room, perfectly situated next to the kitchen. It benefits from a large window, bringing in lots of natural light, and is an ideal space for enjoying meals with friends and family. It also has a large storage cupboard which is great for stashing away any clutter. For those those looking for more of a open-plan design the wall between here and the kitchen could be removed to create a fabulous space.

The kitchen is located to the front of the house and just waiting for you to put your stamp on. Spacious and with plenty of storage, all it needs is a slight revamp to turn it into a fabulous family kitchen. Also downstairs is a cloakroom, which is a handy addition for any family.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms (which means no arguing over who gets left with the smallest room!) Thanks to the large windows in every room, the bedrooms all feel delightfully airy as well as enjoying some stunning views towards the Chiltern hills. The family bathroom is perhaps most in need of renovation but it’s easy to picture it in a more contemporary style.

Outside, the property benefits from a lawned garden to the front and garage access from the rear. The south-west facing back garden enjoys plenty of sun and has a patio area - perfect for holding barbecues – as well as a lawned area for children to play.

If you are searching for a well-proportioned family home that’s close to all amenities and perfect for putting your own stamp on, we think this property is hard to beat! With no onward chain this home could be yours ready for the summer!

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 town centre offers a wide selection of independent boutiques, pubs and restaurants, as well as a market, and has a thriving local arts scene which includes two theatres. Hitchin has plenty to offer families, with several schools which are rated outstanding, including the historic and renowned Hitchin Girls’ and Hitchin Boys’ schools, and great recreational facilities including several playgrounds plus indoor and outdoor pools.

As well as highly active local property market, Hitchin is an affluent area and is a commuter town. Therefore, house prices hold up comparatively well during turbulent times and thrive when the market is stronger.

If you aren’t familiar with Hitchin, we recommend spending a day or more here to enjoy all that this wonderful town has to offer.
