Set on a very large 0.44-acre west-facing plot overlooking fields, this post‑war detached house offers substantial scope for someone seeking space and privacy in Tewin Wood. The existing layout provides two reception rooms, kitchen and guest WC downstairs, with four bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC upstairs — a practical shell for a family home once modernised.
The property requires major renovation: dated fixtures, overgrown gardens, and assumed cavity wall construction without added insulation. Broadband speeds are slow and there is a single bathroom, so buyers should factor refurbishment costs and likely upgrades to heating, wiring and connectivity into any plan. Planning permission may be achievable to extend or replace the dwelling, offering potential to significantly increase value subject to consents.
Sold by Modern Method of Auction, purchasers must allow for a non‑refundable Reservation Fee (4.20% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000) and a £300 Buyer Information Pack cost. Completion is required within 56 days of reservation; anyone using mortgage finance should obtain lender advice and inspect the property thoroughly beforehand.
This location balances countryside calm with commuter convenience: Welwyn Garden City, multiple stations and Junction 6 of the A1(M) are all within easy reach. For buyers looking to create a bespoke family home or develop for value, this plot and position represent a rare opportunity.
