Alexandra Road, Hitchin, SG5

Property Insight:

Where do we start with this incredible property?  This distinctive family home really raises the bar!  The attention that has gone into achieving a consistently beautiful aesthetic and high-quality finish throughout is impeccable.  One thing is for sure, with its recent high-spec renovation and desirable location, this stunning home won’t be on the market for long…

Upon entering the property, the first thing that strikes you is the beautiful interior but also its calm atmosphere – it has an impressive sense of space and tranquillity.  The downstairs provides all the space you need for busy family life.  At the heart of the house is the stunning kitchen/dining/family room – the perfect space for entertaining friends or simply gathering as a family.  The bespoke kitchen is set up for those who take their cooking (and entertaining) seriously.  Featuring sleek, high gloss and beautifully contrasting walnut-effect units with built-in appliances, it’s easy to picture yourself perched at the kitchen island enjoying that first freshly brewed coffee of the morning, or perhaps a well-earned glass of wine in the evening.  The family room area has plenty of space for comfy sofas, providing an informal space for relaxing.  Key features of this room are the striking skylight above the dining area and the bifold doors which open directly on to the contemporary seating area outside – fantastic for summer entertaining.

The sitting room provides a tranquil space for relaxing and spending time together.  Beautifully decorated with a light and neutral colour scheme, this room features a lovely large bay window which brings in plenty of natural light.  Located between the sitting room and utility is a stylish and fully tiled shower room with a walk-in shower – a handy addition (particularly if you have teenagers), as is the utility, which is indispensable for anyone juggling a typically busy family life.

On the first floor are three generously sized double bedrooms (so no arguing over who gets the largest room!)  Each bedroom is light and spacious, providing a welcome personal space for each family member.  One of the bedrooms has built-in wardrobes.  The family bathroom is newly fitted and fully tiled.  It features a contemporary suite, including a full-length bath with shower over.

The upstairs has recently undergone significant improvement with the creation of a new and luxurious principal suite. This striking and spacious room is certainly befitting of the rest of the property.  It features a walk-in wardrobe as well as additional fitted wardrobes and a large, luxurious ensuite with walk-in shower.  It’s the perfect sanctuary to escape and relax after a busy day.

Outside, the back garden is mainly laid to lawn, providing plenty of space for children to enjoy time outside playing.  There is also a handy gate leading to the park. The raised patio area directly outside the kitchen/dining/family room is perfect for entertaining family and friends during the summer months.  To the front of the house is a smart shingled front garden with a path and iron railings

If you’re looking for an outstanding property that you can move straight into, this remarkable family home not only offers an impressive amount of thoughtfully designed living space, it’s also just a short stroll from the train station, town centre and outstanding schools.

Location:

Hitchin continues to be one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable towns.  With excellent transport links (fast trains to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge just 33 minutes), Hitchin often features as one of the best places to live in the UK.  The town centre offers a wide selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a market, and has a thriving local community.  Hitchin also benefits from several schools which are rated outstanding, including the historic and renowned Hitchin Girls’ and Hitchin Boys’ schools.

As well as highly active local property market, Hitchin is an affluent area and is a commuter town. Therefore, house prices hold up comparatively well during turbulent times and thrive when the market is stronger.

If you aren’t familiar with Hitchin, we recommend spending a day or more here to enjoy all that this wonderful town has to offer.
