Set on a very large plot in sought-after Oaklands, this substantial five-bedroom detached house suits growing families who value space and privacy. The property offers generous reception rooms, a modern refitted kitchen/breakfast room with utility, and a bright conservatory that opens onto extensive south-facing patios and lawns — ideal for outdoor entertaining and family life.
Practical features include an in-and-out carriage driveway with ample parking, a detached double garage, and a separate annexe/games room with shower and WC that could serve as a home gym, studio or guest suite. The principal bedroom benefits from triple-aspect windows and a contemporary en-suite; four further bedrooms and a refitted family bathroom complete the first floor.
There is excellent local schooling, fast rail links at nearby Knebworth and Welwyn North, and a very low local crime rate. The house was built in the 1950s–60s and presents strong curb appeal, but buyers should note it will benefit from targeted modernisation in places and energy-efficiency upgrades (cavity walls assumed uninsulated). With its size, layout and detached annexe, the home has clear scope for improvement or adaptation to suit changing family needs.
Occupying a private position with mature boundaries and semi-rural outlooks, this freehold property blends convenience and tranquillity. It will particularly appeal to families seeking generous indoor/outdoor living, substantial parking and flexible ancillary accommodation.
