Description
A Home Rich In History And Full Of Charm. Built in 1901, this Victorian semi-detached home offers a unique blend of original features and modern touches, perfect for those who appreciate a characterful space with plenty of room for family life.
Living Spaces:
The entrance opens into a spacious hallway, setting the tone with its high ceilings and period details. To the front, the living room features a stunning Victorian fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings in. Natural light pours through the expansive bay window, offering lovely views over Purwell Meadows - a peaceful reminder of the natural beauty around this home.
Adjoining the living room is the dining room, which also has an original open fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This room is ideal for hosting family dinners or entertaining friends, with plenty of space for a large table and seating. Double doors lead into the family room, which serves as a flexible space for relaxing, socialising, or play. The family room opens out onto a raised terrace, making it an ideal spot for indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months.
Kitchen & Utility:
At the heart of the home is the kitchen, a functional space with room for both cooking and casual dining. The kitchen flows through to the utility room, keeping practical tasks like laundry neatly out of sight, with an added bonus of extra storage. The wet room, located off the family room, adds practicality for those seeking flexible living arrangements. Originally installed for accessibility, it now offers an additional bathroom on the ground floor, complementing the home's spacious layout and potential for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
Bedrooms:
Upstairs, the home continues to impress. The main bedroom is generously sized, with high ceilings and a feature fireplace that adds a touch of elegance. Two further double bedrooms each provide ample space for family members or guests, with large windows allowing plenty of natural light. The bedrooms share a shower room that has been updated to a modern standard without losing the home’s classic feel.
If more space is needed, the loft room offers real potential. Already boarded and featuring a Velux window, it provides an excellent opportunity to develop into a home office, hobby space, or additional bedroom if desired.
Outdoor Living:
One of the standout features of this home is the 250ft garden, which stretches all the way to the River Purwell. Divided into several areas, the garden offers something for everyone - whether it's enjoying alfresco dining on the raised terrace, lounging in one of the many seating areas, or growing your own vegetables in the dedicated plot with raised beds. The riverbank at the bottom of the garden offers a peaceful spot to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Local Amenities:
Positioned on a main road into Hitchin, this home offers excellent accessibility to local amenities and transport links, making daily life that bit easier. Yet, with Purwell Meadows just across the way and a 250ft garden leading to the tranquil River Purwell, it still provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. This location is ideal for those seeking a balance between connectivity and the calm of nature.
This home offers the best of both worlds - a spacious, character-filled property that provides a peaceful retreat while remaining close to all the amenities you need. Perfect for those looking to enjoy a lifestyle that blends history, space, and modern-day comforts.
