Bedford Road, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

This four-bedroom, semi-detached family home is situated on Bedford Road - a location popular with families and just a short walk from good local schools.

Stepping through the covered porch and into the spacious hallway, the first impression is of a warm and welcoming family home. To your left is a comfortable sitting room with period features including a solid fuel working fireplace (the under-stair area has been repurposed as a handy woodstore), and a lovely bay window which introduces plenty of natural light.  It’s the perfect setting for cosy evenings in with the family.

At the end of the hallway, the home opens up into a generous, open-plan kitchen/diner. This inviting space features a walk-in pantry, underfloor heating, a striking and unusual feature fireplace, and patio doors that lead directly out to the garden.  It’s the ideal space for entertaining, particularly if you enjoy holding summer barbecues.  The dual-tone grey cabinetry is discreet and modern, and the island is perfect for enjoying that first coffee of the morning whilst enjoying views over the garden.  There are integrated appliances, including an induction hob and a double oven, plus space for an American-style fridge-freezer.  It’s a great kitchen if you enjoy cooking and it has ample storage.  The dining area has plenty of room for a large table, making it the perfect space for inviting friends or family over for a meal.   Off to the side, you’ll find a practical utility room with an extra integrated oven and garden access, plus a large, modern wet room, also benefiting from underfloor heating – both handy additions for any busy family.

A bright staircase and landing lead to three bedrooms on the first floor - a single bedroom, and two doubles, one of which is extremely spacious and features built-in wardrobes.  All the bedrooms feel light and airy.  There is also a study which provides the perfect spot for working from home.  A stylish family bathroom with underfloor heating and a separate bath and shower completes the first floor.  

A further staircase takes you to the second floor and the spacious fourth bedroom with under-eaves storage.  This modern bedroom space features different zones and plenty of room for additional furniture.  The current owners are using one area as a home-gym, but the space could be easily repurposed as any number of things – perhaps a cosy sitting area to curl up with a book or watch a film.  It’s a fantastic sanctuary to relax in, tucked away from the rest of the house.

The terraced garden is a real highlight of this lovely home – over 100ft long, it features a large lawn (perfect for children to play or a spot of football practice), plus patio and seating areas that are ideal for relaxing or entertaining.  To the front, the property has ample off-street parking plus a garage and pedestrian access to the rear garden.

Perfect for modern family living, this spacious home is within easy reach of Hitchin’s vibrant town centre, excellent local schools and mainline rail links to London.  Don’t miss out – arrange a viewing today!

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.
