Set in the desirable Oaklands area of Welwyn, this deceptively spacious five‑bedroom link‑detached home sits on a large corner plot with a private woodland backdrop. The house offers generous, flexible living over split levels: a light, open‑plan ground floor for everyday family life and a lower ground floor that houses most bedrooms and additional living space. A self‑contained annexe with separate entrance adds genuine multi‑generational or rental potential (owner expects about £900 pcm).
Key family spaces include a sizeable living room with wide windows, a dining area with central roof light, a large kitchen, a dedicated office/study and a family room — plenty of scope to configure for work, play and entertaining. The integral tandem double garage and block‑paved driveway provide extensive off‑street parking and the garage could be reconfigured to add living accommodation (subject to consents). The raised timber deck and lawn lead to mature trees, creating a private, sheltered garden ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Important practical points: the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, has cavity walls assumed without insulation, and relies on electric room heaters as the main heating source. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is high. These are material considerations for running costs and potential retrofit work, but they also indicate clear opportunities to improve energy efficiency and value through insulation, heating upgrades and modernisation.
This is a versatile family home in an affluent, low‑crime suburb close to good primary and secondary schools, local shops and green spaces. Buyers looking for lots of internal space, scope for improvement, or an income stream from the annexe will find genuine appeal here.
