Nestled in an elevated position along a private, leafy turning, this extremely sizeable detached chalet style property of 2990 sq feet has generously proportioned and versatile living space that has been lovingly extended and refurbished by the current owners over several years. Ground floor multi-purpose living / sleeping space, together with a “Jack and Jill” contemporary shower room and the potential for access to a distinct corner of the garden means there is easy annexe potential here if so desired. The house is immaculately presented and benefits from ground floor WC, gas fired central heating, recently installed double glazed windows and independent underfloor heating system to utility room, office with kitchenette area and en-suite. With mature boundaries, the sunny plot of 0.27 of an acre, wraps around the property and is bordered by mixed hedging that provides an excellent degree of privacy. There are lawns, flower borders, patios to catch the sun throughout the day, a sun deck, and established shrubs and trees to provide interest all year round. Outbuildings include a detached single garage and a 22’ timber outbuilding currently in use as home gymnasium but also providing potential for a home office space or hobby room. To the side of the property there is a driveway providing parking space for up to 6 cars and additional driveway space at the side of the house for up to 2 cars in front of the garage. Energy Rating: C Perfect for entertaining, the stunning 30’ wide lounge flows into a generous, triple aspect dining area, with bi-fold doors that afford access onto the sun deck beyond. In the cooler months this space is made welcoming and cosy by the electric coal effect fireplace. The dual aspect kitchen breakfast room has been tastefully refitted in smart midnight blue contemporary units, with fresh white quartz work tops. With integrated appliances and ample storage, the kitchen also boasts a breakfast bar to one side of the large central island, and complementary herringbone laminate flooring. French doors open to the garden. There is a separate utility room that has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The double-aspect main bedroom is spacious and airy with lovely treetop views. The room is complemented by a walk-in dressing area that provides ample clothes storage space behind neat wooden doors. Also off the main bedroom, there is a bright en-suite with spacious shower enclosure, WC and vanity unit. The second and third bedrooms are also double in size, both with attractive aspects. The contemporary family bathroom provides bath and separate shower, WC and wash hand basin. Agent’s Note: There is easy opportunity to create an independent annexe to the ground floor (subject to normal consents) by utilising the family room (currently in use as an office), the ground floor shower room and the ground floor bedroom to create an independent dwelling space. Part of the side garden could also be used to provide a private outdoor area for such an annexe. The desirable residential area of Oaklands is situated just north east of Welwyn village & enjoys some wonderful borders onto woodland & access to fine country walks. The neighbourhood has two junior/mixed infant schools and is in the catchment area for Richard Hale, Bishop Hatfield & Sherrards Wood. With a parade of shops that cater for daily needs, these include a sub post office, general convenience store, chip shop & butcher. Just over a mile away is the truly picturesque village of Welwyn which is steeped in history & located on the banks of the river Mimram. Some great pubs & good restaurants can be found here, along with historic cottages, a hidden manor house, ancient ford, the Old Roman Baths & an independent baker. Welwyn Garden City is approximately 4 miles south & has a number of leisure facilities, large shopping centre and a John Lewis department store. There are excellent rail links in the nearby villages of Knebworth & Digswell (Welwyn North) which are approximately 5 minutes by car.
