Oakfield Avenue, Hitchin, SG4

Property Insight:

This bungalow has been lovingly maintained and offers fantastic potential to extend (subject to planning permission being obtainable) either into the loft or on the ground floor to create a sizeable family home.

Entering the property, all rooms are accessed via the spacious entrance hall.  At the front of the bungalow are the three bedrooms - all comfortable, well-proportioned double bedrooms.  The two largest bedrooms have curved bow feature windows which introduce plenty of natural light.  The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, and all three bedrooms have neutral décor which helps them feel light and airy.

To the back of the property is the living area, consisting of adjoining sitting room, conservatory, dining room and kitchen.  Although not open plan, there is a lovely flow between the rooms, which join up seamlessly with the patio and garden beyond.

The sitting room is spacious and well-proportioned, with a feature fireplace and lots of natural light thanks to the adjoining conservatory.  This bright and cosy room is the perfect place to relax and unwind.  There’s plenty of space for large comfy sofas and it’s the ideal place for spending time together with family and friends.  The conservatory provides welcome extra entertaining space (particularly delightful during the summer months) but could also be used as a playroom with handy access to the garden.

The sitting room flows through into the dining room – the perfect spot for enjoying family meals or special occasions with friends.  The room features leaded internal windows and decorative niches, bringing character to the space.  An archway leads through to a homely kitchen.  Featuring cream cabinetry and wood-effect worktops, there is plenty of storage space.  The double oven and induction hob are both integrated and there is space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge-freezer.  A glazed door leads to the patio area outside, providing handy access for summer barbecues and get-togethers.

The bathroom features a white bathroom suite and includes a full-size bath with shower over.  Although it could perhaps do with a little updating, it’s a bright room with good proportions.  A useful cloakroom completes the layout.

Outside, the large back garden (which measures 124’ x 98’ at its longest and widest point) is a real asset, featuring mature shrubs and borders alongside raised lawned areas.  The patio is ideal for outdoor entertaining during the summer months and the whole garden is just waiting to be enjoyed.  The property benefits from a double garage which provides ample storage, as well as a block-paved driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.

This bungalow with its spacious footprint and sizeable garden presents a fantastic opportunity, either for moving into with its current layout, or for extending and remodelling to create your perfect family home.
