Mill Close, Hitchin, SG4

Property Insight:

This spacious family home has many wonderful features and is in a fantastic location for commuters.  Occupying an enviable corner plot, the attractive exterior of the property features beautiful climbing plants and a timber porch. 

Upon entering the property, it immediately feels bright and modern.  The feature staircase in the entrance hall provides a real talking point as well as contributes to the open and spacious interior.   The downstairs has a lovely flow to it – the hallway leads through to the dining room – a versatile space with a semi-open plan layout – and then on to the kitchen and sitting room.   The use of the same large format floor tiles in the hallway, dining room and kitchen adds to the modern, open plan feel. 

The kitchen (which doesn’t fail to capture admiring glances from the moment you enter the house) is a beautifully proportioned room with an impressive central island and stunning skylights to bring in plenty of natural light.  It’s incredibly spacious, featuring sleek and glossy white cabinetry with space for a range cooker, dishwasher and American-style fridge-freezer.  It’s a fantastic space for both preparing meals and entertaining, and the glazed door leading out to the patio lends itself to holding summer barbecues and drinks outside.  You can easily imagine yourself enjoying that first cup of coffee in the early peace of the day, or a well-deserved glass of wine in the evening, perched at the kitchen island with views out to the sunny garden.

Moving on to the sitting room – this is another beautifully proportioned, large room which has a feature log burner – perfect for cosy winter evenings in.  With plenty of space to add large comfy sofas, it’s a fabulous place to spend time with friends and family.  Design touches like the contemporary vertical radiator and modern oak door contribute its stylish ambience.  French doors bring in additional light and also provide easy access to the garden.  Completing the downstairs is a bathroom with a contemporary white suite, feature mosaic tiling, and a relaxing jacuzzi bath.

Upstairs, are two good size double bedrooms and a comfortable single bedroom.  Each feels light and airy and has neutral décor.  One of the double bedrooms has large fitted mirrored wardrobes and the other also benefits from useful integrated storage.  The single bedroom would also make a superb home office or perhaps a craft room.

Outside, is a double garage, which features a sink and utility area, as well as a large shed, so there is plenty of storage space for the whole family.  The back garden is low maintenance with patio areas and raised borders – it’s a great space for entertaining with plenty of room for furniture (and even a hot tub!)  To the front of the property is a large, block-paved driveway with space for multiple vehicles.

If you’re looking for a unique and stylish contemporary family home which is close to the station and provides a great space for entertaining, this lovely house is a fantastic option.

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 town centre offers a wide selection of independent shops, 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.

 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.
