Set on a substantial plot in the sought-after West Side of Welwyn Garden City, this chain-free four-bedroom detached bungalow offers generous single-level living and a double garage. The property’s size and layout suit buyers seeking comfortable ground-floor accommodation, easy access to local shops and mainline trains, and quick motorway links (A1(M), M25). The large rear garden and private frontage provide scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning).
The interior is solidly built but dated throughout and will benefit from comprehensive modernisation. Key living spaces include a bright lounge with bay window and garden aspect, a separate dining room, fitted kitchen with adjacent utility, and four bedrooms. There is a traditional bathroom plus a cloakroom; only one full bathroom serves four bedrooms, which may affect family buyers.
Practical considerations are clear: the property likely has cavity walls with no added insulation, double glazing of unknown age, and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Buyers should budget for refurbishment and services testing; the house is presented as a renovation opportunity rather than a move-in-ready home.
This bungalow will appeal to downsizers or families wanting single-storey living who value plot size and location. It also offers potential for investors or developers exploring reconfiguration or extension, subject to planning and survey findings.
