Georges Wood Road, Brookmans Park, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL9

Four bedroom Hicks bungalow with plans passed for major extension

Description

Occupying a generous plot on the prestigious Georges Wood Road, this four bedroom detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Brookmans Park's last remaining Hicks bungalows on a premier residential road. Backing directly onto protected woodland and offered with full planning permission for a substantial first floor extension, the property provides exceptional scope to create a significant family home in one of the village's most sought-after locations.

The existing accommodation is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to all principal rooms. A dual aspect sitting room enjoys views to the front and side elevations and features an attractive original brick fireplace. The heart of the home is the impressive L-shaped kitchen/dining room, comprehensively refitted in recent years, with direct access to the rear garden and ample space for family dining and entertaining. A separate utility room links conveniently to the attached garage.

The bedroom accommodation comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a leaded bay window and fitted wardrobes, while two further bedrooms enjoy French doors opening directly onto the garden, creating an attractive connection to the outdoor space. The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a small double and is served alongside the remaining bedrooms by a family bathroom and a stylish separate shower room.

To the rear, the mature garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and backs directly onto protected woodland, with paved terraces, established planting and expansive lawn areas. To the front, a deep carriage driveway provides extensive parking and access to the attached garage.

Planning permission has been granted to extend the property significantly, including the creation of a substantial first floor with three additional bedrooms, offering purchasers the opportunity to create a home approaching 4,000 sq ft (subject to the approved plans).
