Mount Pleasant, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

Located a short walk from Hitchin’s cosmopolitan town centre, this five bedroom detached family home is well presented throughout and provides all the space you need for busy family life.

As you enter, a spacious hallway with smart wooden flooring leads to a large kitchen/dining room. Contemporary in style, the kitchen features white shaker style cabinetry with contrasting black granite work surfaces and stone effect flooring. Large windows flood the area with natural light and there is ample storage space. Integrated appliances include a large gas hob with stainless steel extractor hood, wall mounted double ovens, dishwasher, plus space for an American style fridge freezer. The dining area has plenty of room for a table and chairs and it provides the perfect setting for entertaining friends or relaxed family meals. Leading off from the kitchen is a handy utility with room for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus direct outdoor access (useful if you’re ever returning home with a muddy dog and/or children!)

On the right hand side of the property are three well proportioned and versatile reception rooms. The dual-aspect reception room at the front of the house is currently being used as a large home office, but it would make an equally fantastic family room or playroom. The sitting room in the centre is a generous 19 feet in length and provides an elegant setting for relaxing after a busy day. This large and airy room has plenty of space for furniture. Leading off from the sitting room is a large conservatory. Currently used as a dining room, the solid roof and central heating make this a practical and comfortable room to use all year round, but the garden access means the space really comes into its own during the summer months. Completing the ground floor is a modern cloakroom with white suite.

The first floor also provides plenty of space, with four large and airy double bedrooms plus a spacious single, all of which feature a neutral colour scheme and carpet. The principal bedroom benefits from garden views, fitted wardrobes and an incredibly spacious ensuite bathroom, featuring a monochrome colour scheme, rolltop bath and large shower. The guest bedroom also has an ensuite shower room with modern sanitaryware. The remaining two double bedrooms have wonderfully generous proportions while the single bedroom is comfortable and well proportioned. The family bathroom features white wall tiles, stone-effect flooring and a modern white suite with full size bath.

Outside, the low maintenance south-west facing garden has plenty of space and features both patio and lawned areas, ideal for both summer entertaining and for children to play. A large shed provides handy storage and there is plenty of scope for further landscaping. To the front of the property is a gated and block paved driveway with space for multiple vehicles.

If you are searching for a large and modern family home within easy walking distance of Hitchin’s town centre, this well presented home should be top of your list.
