We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This wonderful extended three-bedroom family home has been beautifully presented throughout and offers stylish, modern, and versatile accommodation.
Tucked away within a quiet and highly sought-after cul-de-sac, the property is ideally positioned within walking distance of Hitchin's vibrant town centre, mainline railway station, and excellent local schools.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a bright and spacious living room, featuring a charming bay window overlooking the front aspect.
Flowing seamlessly from here is the impressive side extension, currently arranged as a playroom/family room.
This is a superb additional reception space, flooded with natural light thanks to its raised ceiling and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, making it ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.
To the rear of the property is the heart of the home – a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room.
Beautifully appointed, the kitchen offers an excellent range of wall and base units complemented by solid worktops, integrated appliances, and ample space for dining.
A practical utility room is positioned just off the kitchen, providing additional storage, laundry facilities, and convenient access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the current owners using the third bedroom as a home office.
The principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully finished en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom finished to a high standard.
Outside, the front of the property enjoys an attractive lawned garden with mature shrubs, a feature tree, and a shingled pathway leading to the front door.
To the side, the driveway provides off-road parking for a single vehicle and leads to a detached single garage with power and lighting.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a low-maintenance outdoor space, featuring two separate patio seating areas that are perfect for relaxing or entertaining, alongside a well-kept lawn, making it an ideal garden for both families and those who enjoy spending time outdoors.
Symonds Road forms part of a highly sought-after residential development on the west side of Hitchin.
