About
This recently totally refurbished three-bedroom link-detached bungalow occupies a generous plot in this popular Datchworth location.
The extended property has been significantly improved by the current owners to create an impressive and particularly versatile home, extending to approximately 1,720 sq ft including the garage.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the cloakroom, and to the principal rooms.
At the heart of the property is the superb kitchen/ dining room, measuring approximately 18’92 x 16’1”, which has been fitted with an extensive range of contemporary units and integrated appliances.
This is a wonderfully sociable space, with bi folding doors, opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden. There is a generously proportioned utility room adjacent.
The sitting room is another particular feature of the property, opening into an additional reception area overlooking the garden.
A wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point, with further patio doors giving direct access to the terrace and providing views across the garden and farmland beyond.
There are three bedrooms, including a generous principal suite, with the bedroom measuring 20’4” x 11’6”.
This room benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, together with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower.
The remaining bedrooms are currently in use as versatile home office/ guest accommodation and are served by a separate bathroom.
Outside, the property occupies a particularly attractive plot with a deep frontage providing driveway parking and access to the garage.
The rear garden enjoys an open outlook directly across neighbouring farmland.
Immediately adjoining the bungalow is a paved terrace, accessed from both the kitchen/ dining room and the garden room, providing an excellent area for outside dining and entertaining.
Beyond the terrace, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established planting and fenced boundaries.
Its position adjoining open countryside gives the garden a particularly attractive sense of space and outlook.
Energy Rating: D The village of Datchworth lies to the east of Knebworth village and enjoys a wonderful village green with tennis courts, cricket pitch and pavilion – which is host to a number of local events throughout the year.
With its own well regarded junior mixed infants school, shop & tea room, the area is ideal for families and retirees alike.
Indeed, it is this mix of residents that makes Datchworth such a delightful and highly sought after location. There are 3 public houses including the well-regarded Tilbury with a fabulous restaurant.
The village church is situated at the opposite end of the village benefiting from the most amazing views. Nearby Knebworth (approx.
1.3 miles) provides further shopping facilities for daily needs, doctor and dental surgeries, library, recreation ground and British Rail Mainline Station with service to London Kings Cross.
