Crow Furlong, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

This detached chalet bungalow enjoys a spacious plot and is located a short walk from Hitchin town centre.  With fantastic potential to remodel and extend - subject to planning permission - the property is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The property has a lovely welcoming feeling from the moment you step inside the entrance hall, with its warm and practical wooden flooring and neutral décor.  On your right is an elegant sitting room which provides the perfect spot to relax after a busy day.  Decorated in neutral tones with wooden flooring, the sitting room features a large bay window with stylish shutters, as well as a fireplace with built-in cabinetry either side.  The room feels light and airy and there is plenty of room for a couple of comfy sofas in addition to other furniture.

The kitchen is compact in size and could benefit from some updating.  With views over the garden, the space features cream, shaker style cabinetry with coordinating work surfaces and contrasting, glossy blue wall tiles and neutral floor tiles.  The electric cooker with induction hob and extractor hood is integrated and there is space for an under-counter fridge.  A built-in store cupboard provides handy additional storage. 

The dining room is traditional in style with wooden flooring and neutral décor.  With large, glazed sliding doors leading through to the conservatory, the room benefits from plenty of natural light and is the perfect space for enjoying relaxed family meals or entertaining friends.  There is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and - with the conservatory providing access to the garden - the space also lends itself well to indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months.  The conservatory is a versatile space which really comes into its own in the summer and is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the garden views. 

On the right-hand side of the property, a lobby from the kitchen leads through to a utility room with garden access (particularly handy if you have pets), which has plenty of space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.  Adjacent to the utility is a shower room with a modern white suite, white wall tiles and contrasting, slate effect flooring.  The lobby also leads through to a bedroom at the front.  Decorated in a warm neutral colour palette with wooden flooring, the bedroom is a versatile space which could also be used for a number of purposes, including a home office or perhaps a playroom.

At the front of the property is a generous double bedroom which feels wonderfully spacious and bright.  Decorated with a striking aubergine feature wall and benefiting from wooden flooring, the bedroom has a large bay window with smart shutters and there is ample space for furniture. 

Completing the downstairs is a second bathroom with a traditional white suite, including a full-size bath, white wall tiles, neutral floor tiles and a separate WC. 

Upstairs is a large, vaulted bedroom.  Carpeted and enjoying far-reaching views from its dormer window, this is another airy and versatile room which could easily be configured to suit your needs.

Outside, the sizeable rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and offers plenty of space to enjoy. Featuring several mature trees, it’s perfect for children to play, hosting outdoor gatherings or simply relaxing in the sunshine. To the front of the property is an attractive garden with a lawned area and lavender borders. The property also benefits from two gated driveways, one providing off-street parking in front of the single garage and the other positioned in front of the second ground floor bedroom, offering additional secure parking and excellent convenience.

This bungalow presents a fantastic opportunity - either for moving into with its current layout, or for remodelling to create your perfect family home – and is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
