This stunning detached state-of-the-art designed home benefits from wonderful views over the village Green and is located just two miles from Welwyn Garden City. The property has been totally renovated, refurbished and extended to an exceptional standard and offers contemporary, flexible accommodation and, as a nearly new home, benefits from being offered chain free.
The local reputable developer prides herself in building luxurious homes in Hertfordshire. Features are both practical and stylish with meticulous attention to detail throughout and high quality fixtures and fittings. Features include under floor heating to the ground floor and all bathrooms, oak flooring to living spaces, quality fitted carpets, internal oak doors with chrome furniture, oak staircase with glazed panels, bespoke fitted kitchen with Siemens appliances, Roca sanitary ware, contemporary radiators to the first floor and brushed chrome light and socket points... to name just a few!
The light, airy, spacious accommodation is perfect for modern, family living and the mix of open plan combined with separate reception rooms offers fantastic, versatile space, particularly with the principal rooms boasting views of the landscaped garden, with bi-folding doors giving access to the large terrace areas.
THE PROPERTY:
External:
The property is approached from The Green via a five-bar gate with provision for automated entry system, onto an extensive gravel driveway, leading to a detached double garage with separate doors controlled remotely and two store rooms to the rear.
The delightful landscaped gardens extend to approximately 0.5 acres and are predominantly laid to lawn. Enclosed by mature trees and planting, including Magnolia, Golden Cypress and Western Red Cedar and mature shrubs and plants. A granite terrace with outside lighting wraps around three sides of the property.
Internal:
The front door opens through to a bright, welcoming reception hall with oak flooring, which leads into the principal rooms.
Glazed double doors lead into the dual aspect sitting room with open fire place with slate hearth, enjoying views to the side terrace and central water feature.
A separate room to the front can be adapted to suit individual needs - as a garden room or a study/office, and could also be separated to provide independent living accommodation/a fifth bedroom, given the location of the ground floor shower room/cloakroom.
An additional "snug" room provides a perfect TV/playroom/teenager's den, as required.
A real feature of this property is the open plan dual aspect kitchen/breakfast/family room. This fabulous area provides an ideal space to relax and entertain, with bi-folding doors and views over the gardens.
The luxurious kitchen comprises a high specification "Country Kitchens" Burbidge cabinetry in a stylish high gloss porcelain and oak finish, complemented by Silestone Quartz work surfaces and glass splash back, with inset Franke stainless steel sinks/taps. Fully integrated Siemens appliances include: two multi-function fan ovens, induction hob and extractor hood, compact oven/microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, two wine/cooling drawers and a coffee centre.
Ceramic tiled floors connect the kitchen and dining areas, whilst the family area has an oak floor.
On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, three of which are dual aspect and all rooms benefit from delightful views of the gardens or green. Whilst the ground floor has under floor heating, the first floor benefits from contemporary style radiators to gas central heating. The master bedroom has an en-suite, as does the guest bedroom/2 which also benefits from a Juliet balcony. The family bathroom has a bath, with shower over.
All bathrooms are fully tiled, with under floor heating and are fitted with Roca sanitary ware with Matki/Merlyn shower cubicles. Heated towel rails, mirrors and fitted cabinetry. Fully concealed WC cisterns with dual flush and "soft close" seats.
