Canonsfield Road, Welwyn

Summary:
3600+ Square Foot - Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this generously proportioned five bedroom, four bathroom detached property in the desirable Oaklands area of Welwyn. Set in a quiet residential area, yet just a few minutes from local amenities and transport links, this house is in immaculate decorative order throughout and offers fabulous accommodation arranged over three floors, including a large self-contained two bedroom apartment which would provide an amazing facility for an extended family, or maybe generate valuable additional income as a long term or holiday let.

Accommodation:
The light oak front door, set under a pretty tiled porch, welcomes you into a spacious hallway, nicely lit by multiple windows over the stairwell. From here, doors lead into the living room, office, kitchen/dining room and conveniently placed guest cloakroom. The living room is a really lovely room of perfect proportions. A big room, being nearly twenty two feet long and flooded in natural light from the large window to the front and the glazed double doors to the rear, this room could easily serve as a combined living/ding room, if so desired. Clean lines and inset spotlights blend effortlessly with the exposed brick inglenook and traditional log burner, there is easy access directly out into the garden, making it a great place to relax as a family as well as a real asset for summer entertaining.

The well sized office is in a good position within the house, offering privacy with good connectivity, and is comfortably large enough for multiple workstations. If it was not needed as a work from home facility, this room would make a great teenage hang out space, library/reading room, arts and crafts workshop, games/TV room or gym. Occupying the rear corner of the house, is the luxuriously appointed kitchen. Windows to two aspects bless the room with plentiful natural light, which is substantially enhanced by the glazed double doors opening directly out onto the rear garden. The generous proportions and clever design of this wonderful family space make it really flexible and adaptable. The fitted kitchen area boasts a wealth of storage within the ample wall and floor mounted cupboards, which also sport a full range of integrated appliances commensurate with a house of this size and quality. Further storage, worktop and a great breakfast bar reside in a centrally placed free standing island. This still leaves two areas of open floor space, either of which can comfortably accommodate a dining suite or casual seating. Supporting the kitchen, is the adjacent walk in larder/utility/laundry room, accessed through an open entrance that really makes it an effective extension of the kitchen. Through the utility room is a convenient doorway directly into the double garage, again enhancing the usability of that often ignored space. There is a great flow to the living areas of this property and the kitchen/dining room typifies that, linking nicely with the other rooms around it, as well as, the large decking area that runs across the rear of the house to the lounge.

From the hallway, the expansive staircase turns elegantly up to the galleried first floor landing which is abundantly lit by multiple sky lights. From here, doors lead into three of the bedrooms, all doubles, and the family bathroom which boasts a stunning free standing claw foot bath, as well as, a separate shower. All of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, while the main bedroom also has a substantial separate dressing room and a private ensuite shower room. A unique and valuable feature of this lovely family home is the additional self-contained apartment found on the lower ground floor. Featuring two large double bedrooms, both with ensuite shower room or bathroom, and a very large lounge/dining room with a substantial newly fitted quality kitchen, this facility offers a myriad of opportunities as to how best to make it work for your family. Separate outside access boost the possibilities, but it is also served by an internal staircase should you wish to make it an integrated part of the main house. A perfect semi-independent living space for young adult family members or older generation relatives, this apartment could easily be made to work financially bringing in an income for the family through holiday or long term residential lets.

Exterior:
Set back from the road and accessed via a large driveway that opens out into a voluminous block paved area that spans across the front of the house and around the double garage. This large property enjoys a generous plot and gives plenty of off street parking for everyone who might live there and visiting guests, besides. Separate gated access to the garden avoids going through the house into the rear garden which is fully enclosed and secure, so perfectly child and pet friendly. The rear provides a good sized decking area perfect for entertaining whilst looking out across the expansive vista of lawn and mature specimen trees. The garden is a lovely piece of Hertfordshire countryside, just left to thrive in a natural style and a real haven for local wildlife, punctuated by a delightful summerhouse.

Location:
This lovely family home is located within the highly sought after Oaklands area of Welwyn, which provides a range of local shops and an excellent primary school within a short walk. Just a few minutes' drive away are the nature reserves of Mardley Heath and North Pit as well as the Danesbury Park open space. Welwyn village is less than a mile away, justly highly regarded for its range of shops, amenities and excellent gastro-pubs and restaurants. The A1(M) is just over a mile away and a fast, frequent train service from Welwyn North station will get you to London Kings Cross in around 20 minutes.
