Milestone Road, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

As you enter the spacious entrance hall of this family home, the stylish and neutral décor sets the tone for the rest of the property.  The hallway is finished with warm wooden flooring which continues through into the kitchen/dining/family room, creating a wonderful flow and sense of space.  

To your left is a bright and spacious sitting room.  Filled with natural light thanks to its large window, the focal point of the room is a double-facing log burner cleverly positioned in a dual-sided fireplace – enabling you to enjoy the warmth in both the sitting room and family room simultaneously.  There is plenty of space to add comfy sofas, making this the perfect space for relaxing after a busy day and cosying up in front of the fire on a chilly evening.  The crisp white décor and neutral flooring also make this an easy space to accessorise to your own tastes.

The stunning kitchen/dining/family room forms the heart of the house.  Spanning an area of over 400 square feet, it’s a wonderfully bright and airy space thanks to its large skylight and bifold doors, providing the perfect setting whether you’re spending time with the family or entertaining friends.  The kitchen is sleek and contemporary in design, featuring matt navy cabinetry with contrasting gold hardware, white marbled work surfaces and white subway tiles.  Integrated appliances include a wall-mounted electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher, plus there is space for an American-style fridge-freezer.  At the centre of the kitchen is a large island, where it’s easy to picture yourself enjoying that first freshly brewed coffee of the morning, or perhaps a glass of wine with friends in the evening. 

The adjoining dining area features an attractive pendant light feature and provides the perfect space for enjoying a relaxed family meal or supper with friends.  With plenty of space for a large table and chairs - plus adjacent bifold doors which open directly on to the patio – it’s also a fantastic setting for summer entertaining and an ideal set up for indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months.

The family room offers all the benefits of modern open plan living.  With room to add furniture to suit your own needs, the log burner is a superb addition to the space and helps creates a cosy and welcoming ambience despite the room’s overall generous proportions.  A striking black vertical radiator is an attractive and practical design feature.  Completing the downstairs are two handy additions - a modern cloakroom with white sanitaryware and a large understairs storage cupboard.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned and airy double bedrooms.  Two of the bedrooms have a white décor scheme and the third bedroom – currently used as a nursery – has been painted a calming shade of pink.  All rooms have a neutral carpet and a relaxing feel to them.  The principal bedroom benefits from modern fitted wardrobes and the second bedroom also has built-in storage.  The family bathroom is contemporary in style, featuring a modern white suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, a white vanity unit and white subway tiles.  A green feature wall provides a striking contrast.

Outside, is a large, insulated garden room and separate home office.  Incredibly versatile, this well-presented space provides a blank canvas and is a fantastic asset for working from home, but could easily be used as a studio, craft room or even a gym. 

The garden is low maintenance and features a good-size lawn plus patio area and vegetable beds.  It’s a great space for relaxing outdoors, hosting summer gatherings or simply for children to play.  To the side of the property is a passageway with three useful storerooms.  The front of the property has a large, gravelled driveway providing off-street parking with an EV charging point.

This beautifully presented family home is perfectly set up for modern family living and is within walking distance of good local schools.  We recommend an early viewing before it gets snapped up, particularly as it is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
