Bearton Green, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

This four-bedroom, detached 1930s family home is situated in the quiet and leafy cul-de-sac of Bearton Green - a highly desirable Hitchin location popular with families, and a short walk from all amenities.

Stepping into the wide entrance hall, the house feels noticeably characterful with a calming décor.  To the right of the entrance hall is a delightful sitting room with a beautiful bay window and exposed brick feature fireplace.  Decorated in a neutral colour palette, it’s a bright and welcoming room that’s perfect for enjoying cosy nights in with the family or entertaining friends. 

The real heart of this house is the kitchen and adjoining family/dining room – an extension to the original house with bifold doors opening on to the garden and which wraps around to the snug.  This lovely open-plan room is perfect for family living and entertaining.  The kitchen is contemporary in style with high-gloss white cabinetry, grey worktops, a double sink and integrated wine fridge.  There’s plenty of storage as well as space for a range cooker, which has a wall-mounted hood above.  To one end of the kitchen there is a breakfast bar, which is perfect for sitting and chatting whilst you prepare a meal or perhaps enjoying your first coffee of the day.

The family/dining area was just made for hosting – with room for a large table and chairs, plus bifold doors which fully open on to the raised decking area outside – it’s a dream set up if you enjoy hosting summer barbecues or parties and there’s plenty of space for everyone!  The room wraps around to a versatile snug area with room for some comfy sofas and additional furniture, which also has visibility through from the kitchen.  If you have young children, this could also make a great playroom as it’s partly separated yet at the same time integrated into the rest of the family space.        

Situated behind the snug is a large utility room with lots of storage and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer - an indispensable addition when you’re leading a typically busy family lifestyle, as is the cloakroom which completes the downstairs.

Upstairs, the fresh, neutral décor continues.  A large landing leads off to four well-proportioned and similarly sized double bedrooms (so you can avoid any arguing over who gets the largest room!)  The principal bedroom has a modern ensuite shower room as well as built-in wardrobes.  Two of the other bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobes and all the rooms are light and airy, providing the perfect space to relax and unwind.  The modern family bathroom is spacious with a freestanding bath and feature pebble wall-inclusions.

The 70’ x 32 mature garden is a real feature of this lovely home.  The large decking area outside the house is superb for entertaining, with plenty of space for outdoor furniture, and the east-facing garden with expansive lawn is perfect for children to play (or a spot of football practice).  There are several mature shrubs and trees and it’s a beautiful location for relaxing in the sunshine.  To the front of the property is a large, shingled driveway with space for multiple vehicles.   

Bearton Green is an idyllic spot to raise a family– there’s a real community atmosphere in the cul-de-sac, which holds an annual street party and carol service.  It’s just a short stroll from local shops, as well as the town centre and several schools, and right next to the King George V playing fields.  This family home has so much to offer – we’re certain it won’t be on the market for long!
