3 bed detached house for sale

Digswell Road, Welwyn Garden City AL8

Summary:
Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this lovely three bedroom, two bathroom detached family home located on the popular west side of Welwyn Garden City within easy reach of the centre of the city and all of the amenities on offer there. The house is presented in great overall condition, maybe just requiring some light modernisation and interior decorating to make it a perfect fit for your lifestyle, but also represents a rare opportunity to expand and remodel in a more substantial way, as it benefits from an attached single storey garage on one side and a single storey extension on the other currently offering a very large utility/laundry room and a really useful ground floor shower room. Set on a generous plot, with a west facing garden there is scope to expand the footprint as well as generate a substantial increase in space on the first floor, subject to the necessary permissions.

Accommodation:
The property has a warm, traditional feel to it, with an attractive frontage fitted with sash windows that include a lovely bay window. The front door, nicely detailed with a leaded light glass panel, opens into a spacious and welcoming ‘L' shaped entrance hall that is abundantly lit by a window to the front and an additional window at the top of the staircase. From the entrance hall doors open into the living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and the ideally placed ground floor shower room that readily doubles up as a useful guest cloakroom, all presented in a classic layout that has worked so well for so many decades.

The living room is quite charming, with well balanced proportions and plenty of space to easily accept multiple sofas and chairs along with other occasional furniture. The chimney breast at the centre of the rear wall houses a lovely fireplace with a glass fronted coal effect fire and is flanked by smart cupboards built into the adjoining alcoves. The gas flue could easily be opened to allow for a wood-burning stove. Bespoke display cabinets grace the walls at the front either side of the stunning bay window that makes a fabulous visual impact whilst also flooding the room with light throughout the day.

Directly behind the living room is the equally large and well shaped dining room, which is also the beneficiary of plenty of daylight thanks to the side facing window and the fully glazed French windows that open out into the rear garden. Being of a similar size to the living room means these two rooms are readily interchangeable, giving plenty of choice as to how you best configure your living space, with both of them able to perform admirably in either role.

The kitchen/breakfast room occupies the centre of the house, flowing back from the entrance at the end of the hallway and opening out into a nice open space at the rear that is surrounded by windows and is just perfect for a family dining table. The kitchen area, which benefits from another side facing window, is fitted with a comprehensive assortment of wall and floor mounted cabinets around the perimeter with an additional walk-in larder, perfect for food and wine storage. You will never be short of storage space, and multiple locations have been designed into the layout for a freestanding dishwasher, fridge and a range style cooker. Adjoining the main kitchen is a substantial utility/laundry room which enjoys a useful layout that includes a door opening onto both front and back gardens as well as direct access out from the kitchen.

Upstairs is a spacious hallway that is attractively galleried over the staircase and very well lit by a side facing window. From the hallway doors lead into each of the three bedrooms, the family bathroom and the conveniently separated WC.

Exterior:
There is a good size garden to the front currently shared by a driveway to the garage and a lawn set behind a mature hedge along the front boundary. The driveway provides off-street parking and it would be pretty straightforward to expand the parking area across the front of the house to provide further parking space. The rear garden is west facing and enjoys a paved patio running the full width of the rear of the house, neatly linking all the access points in the utility/laundry room, kitchen/breakfast room and the dining room, as well as a nice courtyard leading to a valuable pedestrian door into the rear of the garage. There is plenty of room on the patio for outdoor casual seating and dining furniture, with the rest of the garden being a pleasant mixture of lawn, flower beds and a small selection of specimen trees, all combining to give a lovely natural feel and a relaxing place to space and time with family and friends. The garden is secure and fully enclosed and so is perfect for pets and children.
The roof has a South, South-West facing slope which offers great potential for Solar pv installation, perfect for running an electric car and household electricity demand.

Location:
This property is perfectly located on the extremely desirable west side of Welwyn Garden City, within easy reach of the city centre with its extensive shopping areas, restaurants, bars and mainline railway station, from which regular and frequent services run north and south. London is an easy commute, with Kings Cross station just 25 minutes away. It also benefits from being close to all other local amenities including the Gosling Sports Centre, doctors, dentists and renowned schooling for all ages. Despite its residential location it remains within easy access of the motorway network via the A1(M).
