About
The Cockaigne Housing Group is an innovative Grade ii-listed co-housing development situated on The Ryde in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
Constructed during the 1960s, the community comprises 28 single-storey, flat-roofed patio homes designed to encourage cooperative living.
Residents share a range of communal amenities, including landscaped gardens, a tennis court, and a central community building.
Upon entering this intriguing home, doors lead from the entrance hall, firstly into a spacious bedroom on the left, with deep fitted wardrobes, then to a fully-tiled family bath/shower room with sleek storage and large heated towel rail.
A utility room is located on the right at the front of the property and a broad sliding door leads to the exceptionally bright, large, open-plan kitchen/living space, where modern skylights and walls of full-length windows and external doors to the side and rear, allow natural light to flood in.
The stylish kitchen, with clean lines, boasts quality fitted appliances, two islands - the largest with breakfast bar - and a generous amount of smart, varied, practical storage units in the form of deep drawers and fitted cupboards.
There is also the additional benefit of electric blinds and underfloor heating in the kitchen/lounge/diner areas.
A centrally-located, private courtyard can be accessed via doors from the kitchen, living area and largest bedroom at the rear of the property, which benefits from a superb en-suite shower room.
A third bedroom at the rear completes the bungalow's elegant accommodation.
Externally, the property has a pretty, secluded, south-west facing rear garden and a garage with driveway offering off-street parking to the front.
The Ryde is a quiet, tree-lined road on the outskirts of Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield.
The property is within renowned local school catchment and is also just a short walk from the nearby Hatfield mainline rail station (London Kings Cross 24 mins).
