Viewings to commence Saturday 8th March 2025
An attractive detached chalet style home standing on a private, landscaped plot with a garage and ample parking.
Since its construction in the early 1960's by a local building firm, this CHAIN FREE home has never been sold outside of the family and is now available to purchase in the open market for the first time. It has been improved with replacement double glazed windows and doors, air conditioning and a gas fired boiler to radiator central heating. In our opinion it is ideally suited for those who are either looking to downsize or are seeking a long term family home as it offers enormous potential to remodel or extend, subject to obtaining the required consents. The property is well placed for all village amenities and communication links by road, rail and air plus the thriving market town of Hitchin is approximately three miles.
The existing accommodation features a wide entrance hall, a split level ground floor bathroom with a shower cubicle and corner bath. An impressive triple aspect open plan sitting room with a central fireplace. A dining room with attractive views over the garden plus a large fitted kitchen/breakfast room with appliances. Upstairs there are two large double sized bedrooms with built in storage and en-suite cloakrooms.
An early viewing is highly recommended in order to appreciate this properties full potential.
