Archives: House - Link Detached

Summary:

Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this lovely three bedroom link-detached house set along a quiet residential road just a few minutes walk from the centre of the ever popular village of Codicote. Offered chain free for a smooth and speedy completion, this is a wonderful family home with off street parking, a large garage/workshop, downstairs guest cloakroom and a superb snug connected open plan to the rear of the separate dining room.

Accommodation:

This modern detached house was designed by the architect with large windows throughout to really maximise the natural daylight in every room, and this starts with the attractive front door set into a neat and useful front porch, with a full height opaque window to the front and full width windows to the side, providing a great reception area in which to welcome guests.

From the reception area a door opens into the substantial living room, which is a well balanced space with full height windows overlooking the front garden, effectively creating a whole wall of glass. A wide chimney breast enjoys an open hearth set within a decorative stone fireplace, offering an appealing focal point as well as cosy winter warmth, whilst the generous proportions allow you a wide choice of how best to configure and furnish the space, easily accepting multiple chairs and sofas as well as other occasional furniture.

From the rear of the living room glass double doors lead directly into the dining room, which has doors into the kitchen, double doors out into the garden, open access through to the delightful snug, the stairs and a well placed guest cloakroom, which could easily be adjusted to make it an additional shower room. The dining room is another room of generous and well balanced proportions making it readily able to accommodate a large dining suite, but also with sufficient space to multi-task as a children’s play area, offering a great connectivity to the other rooms.

Summary:
Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this terrific four bedroom, two bathroom, link detached house set on a large corner plot, along a quiet residential cul-de-sac in the highly sought after Oaklands area of Welwyn. There is plenty of off street parking on the block paved driveway, along with an integral tandem double garage. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly modest exterior, inside is an absolute Tardis, built to follow the sloping topography of the land which gives a generous ground floor that contains a whole host of day to day living rooms, then a lower ground floor with the bedrooms, bathrooms and further living rooms. Skilful and innovative design has established large light wells at the front of the property, so that the lower ground floor is just as light and bright as the ground floor. This is a large, well proportioned family home offering flexible and adaptable living space, but also comes with a valuable added bonus of a self contained annexe, complete with a separate kitchen/breakfast room and shower room. The annexe has its own separate entrance which makes it ideal for a family member needing a good level of independence, but with support nearby when required. It also offers a commercial rental opportunity on a long or short let, or through any of the holiday accommodation apps. The property is offered with fully vacant possession, so the choice of how you use the annexe is yours to make. For reference, the current owner would expect to realise £900 per calendar month as rental income, a not insignificant amount.

Accommodation:
The attractive front door, with decorative inset glazed panels and a large opaque window to the side, opens into a neat lobby with an internal window through to the dining room, and a door through to an ideally placed guest cloakroom, along with a separate door into the main entrance hall.

Summary:

Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this absolutely enchanting Grade II listed three bedroom detached period house in the very centre of Welwyn. The property is chain-free and the location, age, number of bedrooms, an upstairs bathroom and private, secure off street parking, make this a very rare property indeed. The generous ground floor space is further enhanced by a semi open plan layout and the rich period features, such as the open fireplaces and exposed beams. These features add an authentic charm and warmth to this wonderful home. The property is believed to be around 400 years old and is thought to have been a village shop before it was converted to a private dwelling. This house has an absolute wealth of history to be investigated and uncovered. Just think of the stories it could tell!!

Accommodation:

The period front door, attractively decorated with an ornate leaded stained-glass window, opens onto a hallway that leads to the stairway, the dining room and to a conveniently placed guest cloakroom. The dining room is a nicely proportioned space lifted by the plentiful light cast by the large window to the front and a wealth of architectural interest. Alcoves adjoin the large open hearth with its impressive exposed brick chimney and the view through into the open plan living room displays the wonderful patina of ancient wooden beams and stripped back dividing walls. With plenty of space for a large dining suite this is a fabulous room for entertaining as well as eating together as a family. The living room is deceptively large and another room enjoying a really usable shape. Bathed in light from the two windows to the side as well as from the dining room this is a flexible and adaptable room that gives you plenty of choices as to how best to furnish it to suit your needs.
