Willoughby Way, Hitchin, SG4

Property Insight:

This well-loved family home is situated in a tranquil location within walking distance of the town centre, station and outstanding schools.  Whilst it could benefit from some cosmetic updating, the property has plenty of space and features a versatile, open plan living space and three bedrooms.    

As you enter the property, it immediately feels bright and open.  The wide entrance hall is decorated in a neutral colour palette with a brown carpet and has doors leading to the kitchen and living room.  The galley-style kitchen features a range of white gloss and wood cabinets with coordinating wood-effect work surfaces and neutral splashbacks and flooring.  There is plenty of storage space and integrated appliances include a wall-mounted double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and there is space for a washing machine. 

The kitchen leads through into the sitting room at the back of the house which is open plan to the dining area and living room.  The sitting room is bright and spacious as well as neutrally decorated and offers great versatility.  There’s ample space to add furniture and it would make an equally good family room or playroom.  Large, sliding patio doors provide access to the garden as well as lovely garden views – a great asset during the summer months and perfect for indoor-outdoor living. 

The dining area also has neutral décor and features an array of fitted bookshelves and cabinets which provide ample storage space.  With room for a table and chairs, it’s the perfect location for enjoying relaxed family meals or hosting friends.  A further reception room is located at the front of the house and is open plan to the dining room.  This is another bright and airy room with a neutral colour scheme.  The large window floods the space with natural light and offers lovely views of the green to the front.  A traditional fireplace provides a focal point and there is plenty of space to add comfy sofas and further furniture, making this a lovely room for relaxing after a busy day.  A downstairs cloakroom with white sanitaryware completes the downstairs.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms – two double bedrooms and a single.  The principal bedroom is a generously sized double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe.  The second bedroom is another double room with a built-in wardrobe, and the third bedroom is a good-size single bedroom.  All the bedrooms benefit from large windows and plenty of natural light.  The family bathroom features a white suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, feature wall tiles and grey laminate flooring.

Outside, the garden features lawned and paved areas with mature borders and shrubs.   A large outbuilding provides useful additional space and is currently being used as an extra bedroom but could be easily repurposed to create a home office or studio space.  The front garden features several mature shrubs and a beautiful blossom tree.  To the side of the property is a driveway providing off-street parking.

This property presents a fantastic opportunity to own a home in a sought-after, tranquil location, close to all of Hitchin’s amenities and is ready to be reconfigured to suit your needs.  It also has the added benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN.
