Summary - 28A REYNARDS ROAD WELWYN AL6 9TP
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Rare single-storey mid-century house with annexe and large garage on half-acre plot.
Half-acre secluded plot backing onto green belt land
This striking mid-century detached house, designed by Ralph Baldwin, sits on a secluded half-acre plot on the edge of Welwyn. The single-storey, open-plan layout preserves original 1960s features — boarded ceilings, large glazing and clean modernist lines — while updated fittings create comfortable family living. A large garage/workshop with EV charger and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe add flexible space and practical value.
Interior spaces flow directly to extensive south- and west-facing terraces and lawns, making the property ideal for indoor–outdoor family life and entertaining. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en suite; three further bedrooms and a conservatory/study provide plenty of adaptable accommodation. The annexe is self-contained, suitable for guests, multigenerational living or rental income.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property uses oil-fired heating and the walls are cavity with no installed insulation (as built). Double glazing dates from before 2002, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is high. These are manageable for sympathetic renovation but will be relevant to running costs and any retrofit plans.
For families seeking character, space and a semi-rural feel within walking distance of Old Welwyn, this home offers rare scale and provenance. It will particularly suit purchasers who value original mid-century design and who are prepared to invest in targeted energy and technology upgrades to modernise performance.
