Water Lane, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

This delightful home was built around 12 years ago in an appealing style designed to blend in with the neighbouring Victorian properties.  The property has plenty going for it, not least its convenient location – Hitchin’s cosmopolitan town centre, excellent schools and train station are all within easy walking distance.

Entering the property and stepping into the spacious hallway, the crisp and neutral décor makes it immediately feel bright and airy.  To the right of the hallway is a modern kitchen.  Designed in a contemporary style, it features sleek white cabinetry and walnut-effect worktops.  The kitchen benefits from integrated appliances including a wall-mounted double electric oven, microwave and gas hob with a wall-mounted hood.  There is space for a fridge-freezer and washing machine.  It’s a practical space with ample storage. 

Progressing through the property, you’ll find a superb open plan sitting/dining room.  This has been created as a sunroom, featuring a part-glazed ceiling and fully extendable bifold doors which lead out to the garden.  The room is flooded with natural light, and it feels like the real heart of the home.  There’s plenty of space for furniture, including a comfy sofa or two, plus a dining table and chairs, and it’s easy to imagine spending time here as a family.  It’s also a great space for entertaining - particularly during the summer months when you can open the bifolds and enjoy indoor-outdoor gatherings.  A handy cloakroom completes the downstairs.

On the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms.  Both bedrooms feel spacious and airy with the principal bedroom enjoying its own modern and neutral ensuite shower room.  The third bedroom is located on the second floor.  Built into the eaves, it benefits from under-eaves storage and would also make a lovely large office space or perhaps a craft room.  The family bathroom is also located on this floor and features a white bathroom suite including a full-length bath with shower over.

Outside, the garden features both lawned and patio areas, allowing for young children to play and providing space for you to either sit back and relax or entertain family and friends.  To the front of the property is a block-paved driveway with off-street parking for one vehicle.

This lovely family home is in a fantastic central location and is ready and waiting to be moved into straightaway.  Book a viewing soon as we are sure it won’t be on the market for long!

If you aren’t familiar with Hitchin, we recommend spending a day or more here to enjoy all that this wonderful town has to offer.
