This generous four-bedroom detached house in Welwyn’s Oaklands area is arranged over two main floors and suits a growing family seeking space and countryside outlooks within commuting distance of London. The main bedroom suite includes a dressing room, en-suite and an elevated balcony that looks over open fields, while large picture windows bring natural light into the principal living spaces. The house is freehold and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
The ground floor offers an open-plan kitchen/dining room with a central island, integrated appliances and a useful utility room; the living room’s wide frontage and fitted storage make for easy family layouts. A substantial integral double garage and workshop provide considerable storage and genuine potential to extend living space subject to the usual consents. The rear garden is terraced with a full-width patio and multiple levels for seating, planting and play.
The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s and, while presented in sound decorative condition, it will suit buyers prepared to modernise certain elements to their taste. The cavity walls are assumed to have no additional insulation, and there is potential to upgrade energy efficiency. Council tax is described as expensive, which should be factored into running costs.
Location is a strong selling point: very low local crime, excellent mobile and fast broadband, nearby good primary and secondary schools, local shops and green spaces. Welwyn North station offers a fast service to London Kings Cross (around 20 minutes), and the A1(M) is close by, making this a practical choice for commuters who want spacious family living with a rural feel.
