Description

A four bedroom detached family home with planning permission already approved for a substantial ground floor extension, positioned within a quiet private cul-de-sac and backing directly onto Birchall Woods. Occupying one of the largest plots within the cul-de-sac, the position and overall setting set it apart from others nearby.

The ground floor provides well balanced and adaptable accommodation. The triple aspect lounge is a particularly strong room, with a bay window to the front, fireplace, and sliding doors opening directly onto the rear patio. The entrance hallway is spacious and gives access to a downstairs WC. The kitchen and breakfast room runs the full depth of the property and also opens onto the garden via sliding doors, supported by a separate utility room. In addition, there is a further reception room that can be used as a dining room or secondary sitting area.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes an ensuite shower room. There is a further double bedroom, two single bedrooms, an airing cupboard and a fully tiled family bathroom. The proportions are practical and well suited to family use. Additionally, the property is double glazed, has gas to radiator heating, and has been maintained to a good standard throughout.

The outside space is a defining feature of the property. The rear garden is significantly larger than most within the cul-de-sac, both in width and depth, giving it a far more open feel than typically found on the development. The west facing aspect ensures it benefits from sun well into the evening. Beyond the boundary, a gate leads directly into Birchall Woods, providing immediate access to established woodland and open green space. To the front, the property is set back with a driveway providing parking for two vehicles.

Planning permission has been granted for a substantial ground floor extension, offering clear scope to increase the overall footprint and reconfigure the ground floor if required. Details are available via Welwyn Council under reference 6/2023/1929/HOUSE.

The Holt is a private cul-de-sac on the rural edge of the Panshanger development, well regarded for its quiet setting and predominantly detached homes, with woodland close by. Local amenities include a Morrisons supermarket and both primary and secondary schools. Welwyn Garden City town centre is easily accessible, offering a wider range of shopping including John Lewis, along with a mainline rail service to London Kings Cross.
