Summary - Hoppers Barn, Watton Road, Datchworth SG3 6RS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large five-bedroom detached house with private gardens and garage, ideal for families.
Five bedrooms across three floors, adaptable upper rooms
Hoppers Barn is a substantial five-bedroom detached family house set on about 0.39 acres in the heart of Datchworth. The home combines generous, high‑ceilinged rooms and original period features — exposed beams, a dramatic double-sided inglenook chimney and a two-oven AGA — with practical family spaces such as a large kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cellar.
The ground floor flows from a formal living room into a triple-aspect dining room and a sitting area overlooking the private rear garden. A cosy TV room or study sits off the kitchen; upstairs are three double-aspect bedrooms with a shared bathroom and a family shower room, while the second floor offers additional rooms adaptable as bedrooms or workspaces. A gated driveway and large detached garage provide ample parking and storage.
Location is a strong selling point: the property sits in a sought-after village with fast broadband, good local amenities and well-regarded schools nearby, yet offers easy road and rail links for commuters. The very large, well‑planted garden and mature trees create a secluded countryside feel within reach of Knebworth, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City.
Considerations: the house was constructed in the 1980s to 1990s with timber-frame elements; prospective buyers should note the layout includes only two main bathrooms for five bedrooms and council tax is very expensive. While well maintained, the scale and age of the property mean ongoing maintenance and potential updating should be expected to suit modern tastes and energy standards.
