About
Set within a highly desirable private road in the well-renowned Hertfordshire village of Welwyn, Oaklands, this substantial five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached residence occupies an exceptional position, with its generous plot and setting now forming a key feature of the home.
Enjoying a high degree of privacy and a beautifully maintained south-facing rear garden, the property offers both space and versatility in equal measure. Extending to approximately 3,600 sq. Ft.
Of accommodation arranged over two floors, the house provides well-balanced and flexible living, ideally suited to modern family requirements.
The layout has been thoughtfully designed to allow for annexe potential, whether for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a dedicated work-from-home environment that remains separate from the main living areas.
The accommodation begins with an entrance lobby leading into a welcoming entrance hall, which in turn provides access to all principal rooms.
The 26ft dual-aspect living room is a standout feature, enjoying an attractive outlook over the rear garden and flowing seamlessly into a separate dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
A well-proportioned home office offers a quiet and practical workspace, while the adjacent family room/garden room provides an additional reception area, again benefiting from pleasant views across the rear aspect.
The fitted kitchen is well-appointed and leads through to a generous laundry/utility area, complemented by a downstairs cloakroom.
Enhancing the flexibility of the ground floor, there is a guest room/snug with an adjoining shower room and separate utility space, lending itself perfectly to annexe-style living if required.
The first floor continues to impress, with a 17ft principal bedroom suite featuring its own en-suite bathroom and a sizeable dressing area.
A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite, while three further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family shower room.
Externally, the property is approached via a carriage driveway providing extensive off-road parking.
To the rear, the stunning south-facing garden is a real credit to the current owners, beautifully stocked and thoughtfully maintained, offering a high level of privacy and an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.
