55 Westwood Avenue, Hitchin, SG4 9LL

Property Insight: Within walking distance of Hitchin town centre, this extended four bedroom detached home has been opened up at the back with a sociable kitchen, dining and family space.

What a wonderful home. The extension is the heart of it all.

Sleek handleless cabinetry in soft grey sits beneath speckled grey work surfaces, with an island, space and services for a range cooker, while grey stone effect tiles run through to a sunny family area with French doors onto the garden.

A snug links this space with the sitting room at the front, where a feature fireplace make for cosy evenings, and a separate study, utility and cloakroom keep the practical side of family life in its place.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom stretches to over eighteen feet (at max) and has its own dressing room and ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is a good size with shower over bath.

Outside, a sandstone terrace wraps around the back of the house beneath a trailing wisteria, beautiful apple tree, deep borders and a painted shed.

It's easy to imagine long summer lunches out here while the children run free. A long driveway leads to the garage, and the town, its schools and the station are all close at hand.
