13 Matthew Gate, Hitchin, SG4 9EQ

Property Insight: From the front door to the bottom of the garden, this detached home is all about flow.

The living room runs the full depth of the house before French doors open into a conservatory and out onto a garden shaded by a mature apple tree.

It works as well for a quiet evening in as for a houseful of guests.

Soft neutral carpet and white walls give the living and dining space a calm, gallery like backdrop, with room for two sofas at one end and a dining table at the other.

The conservatory is the room you’ll find yourself drifting back to: Fabric sail blinds diffuse the light overhead, an exposed brick wall adds warmth.

The kitchen runs alongside, with white tongue and groove cabinetry, decorative knobs and solid wood work surfaces, a breakfast bar and a side door out to the garden.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a built in wardrobe, the second bedroom has its own cloakroom en suite and built-in wardrobe, and the family bathroom is tiled in warm sandstone tones with a white vanity unit and a shower over the bath.

Outside, the rear garden pairs a well-established neat lawn with a paved patio, an acer and established borders, while the apple tree takes centre stage and well-kept lawn and beds.

The patio offers a pleasant space for eating, drinking and relaxing.. At the front, a block paved driveway leads to the integral garage which includes shelving providing ample storage.

It’s easy to imagine this as a family home, with space to entertain and Hitchin’s town centre within easy reach. Hitchin continues to be one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable towns.

With excellent transport links (fast trains to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge just 33 minutes), Hitchin often features as one of the best places to live in the UK.
