This substantial four-bedroom detached home on a sought-after West Side turning has been extensively remodelled to create a comfortable, versatile family house. The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/reception with two sets of doors to the private rear garden, plus a separate front living room, study and an office/bedroom with mezzanine. Off-street parking for multiple cars and generous outdoor space suit family life and entertaining.
The main bedroom includes a dressing area and en-suite, there are three stylish bathrooms in total, and useful ancillary rooms such as a pantry and utility with a secondary entrance. Finished to a newly renovated standard throughout, the property combines period Tudor Revival charm with contemporary living layouts and fittings, while retaining solid brick construction and period external details.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with a very long lease (898 years) and a nominal ground rent of £12. Council tax is described as expensive. The building’s solid brick walls are original to its c.1900–1929 construction and may lack modern cavity insulation; buyers wishing to improve thermal efficiency should factor potential retrofit works into plans and running costs.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to Welwyn Garden City town centre, mainline rail links (fast services to King’s Cross and St Pancras), shops including John Lewis and Waitrose, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools. The immediate area is affluent, quiet and low-crime, making this a strong family option for commuters who value space, schools and green amenity nearby.
