Summary:
CHAIN FREE - Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this delightful four/five bedroom family home in the popular north west area of Welwyn. The stylish and extremely attractive house is set at the end of a wonderful sweeping, tree lined driveway and enjoys idyllic grounds of 1.6 acres, including a four car garage, an all weather tennis court, beautifully landscaped gardens featuring an array of specimen trees, and an appealing and eclectic mix of summer houses, covered dining areas and further outbuildings placed around the grounds. This generously proportioned and flexible property offers a wealth of options as to how best to use the substantial space available, with bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground and first floor providing a perfect situation for a family desiring multi generational living. Being set well back from the road, and surrounded by other properties also boasting substantial grounds, makes this a quiet, secluded and private countryside residence, and yet just a few minutes in the car puts you in the centre of the vibrant and bustling village of Welwyn.
Accommodation:
The pretty front door, part glazed with attractively designed glass panels, is flanked by two stylish shaped windows, and is set into the lovely verandah style frontage. The door opens onto a light, bright hallway which weaves its way through the house, giving access to each of the ground floor rooms, but also opens directly out onto the rear garden through a set of glazed double doors, an unusual yet useful and really attractive feature.
Facing the front of the house and bathed in natural light from the large bay window is the dining room. This is a nicely proportioned room, comfortably able to cope with a large dining suite, and enjoys an authentic traditional wooden floor as well as a super wood burner at its centre. Opening onto the living room through full width glazed bi-fold doors makes the two rooms wonderfully versatile and usable during everyday family life and when entertaining.
The adjacent living room is quite fabulous, with an abundance of daylight pouring in through the two windows set into the end wall either side of the lovely open fireplace, as well as the large windows to the front aspect, one of which is arranged into a bay to match that within the dining room. At nearly twenty three feet long this is a room that can easily cope with a large family, whilst the beautiful oak beam set into the ceiling and the positioning of the windows offer a clear opportunity to differentiate between separate areas within the room should that be your wish.
To the front of the house is the family room/bedroom five. Windows to two aspects make this a bright and airy room and it enjoys convenient access to the hallway and directly into the breakfast room through two separate doors, as well as a large set of full length fitted cupboards. Currently doing sterling work as a casual lounge/family room, it would also perform well as a third ground floor bedroom if required.
The breakfast room overlooks the rear garden through a large window that welcomes in plenty of natural light as well as the stunning views of the grounds. It is well shaped, of a good size, and has each of the multiple doors cleverly located to keep the floor space free for a substantial casual dining suite and other occasional furniture.
Leading from the breakfast room and occupying the rear corner of the house is the wonderful kitchen. The expansive windows set into three of the walls ensure the room is flooded with natural light, whilst the ergonomically efficient layout puts everything at your fingertips. Ample worktops run right around the room, whilst the fitted cupboards below provide generous storage as well as a full range of integrated appliances.
At the centre of the house is a full family bathroom, an invaluable asset to have on the ground floor, whilst the rear corner of the property hosts two double bedrooms and a perfectly placed guest cloakroom.
From the rear hallway the solid wood stairs with their attractively turned balusters rise to the generous first floor hallway. From here doors lead into the two very large bedrooms, one of which has a fabulous en-suite shower room.
This house presents myriad opportunities to configure the sleeping and living space in a way that best suits your family's needs. The two first floor rooms would be a perfect combined sleeping/living space for a young family member or an older physically able family member, whilst the ground floor bedrooms, bathroom and family room give options for older relatives to enjoy semi independent living whilst still being within the family social space.
Exterior:
At 1.6 acres the grounds are clearly substantial, but this property enjoys a wonderful layout to make the best possible use of that space. Intelligent and stylish design has proportioned the front perfectly to provide a woodland approach to the house. The rear grounds include a tennis court and have been expertly softened and made more welcoming and intimate by carefully positioned multiple flower beds, small copses of carefully curated specimen trees and a wonderful variety of shapes colours and textures throughout the planting. A perfect example of skilful, interesting and sympathetic garden design of the very highest order.
Location:
Welwyn village is less than a mile away, justly highly regarded for its range of shops, amenities and excellent gastro-pubs and restaurants. The A1(M) is just over a mile away and a fast, frequent train service from Welwyn North station will get you to London Kings Cross in around 20 minutes.

About this agent
For over 45 years Bryan Bishop & Partners have remained in the forefront of selling this area's more individual property from small cottages to larger detached houses. It is their determination to restrict their portfolio to a specific market that has attracted sellers and buyers from many miles away to visit their Welwyn office, perhaps recognising that there is still a place for the more bespoke type of service. Much has changed in the world of Estate Agency, the arrival of the Internet signalled a revolution in the way people search for their dream homes. It has now become the ‘first port of call’ for the majority of buyers which is why we have invested heavily on rightmove and other well known property portals. The firm's owner, Martin Bishop, has worked in Welwyn for almost 36 years and has built up a valuable reservoir of knowledge on the local property market. He is supported by a team of enthusiastic sales and admin staff at ease with the latest technology.
