Description

This distinctive three-bedroom, two-bathroom detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity for renovation within a tranquil cul-de-sac in the desirable Oaklands area of Welwyn. Set on a generous plot, the property boasts a spacious west-facing rear garden complete with a charming timber summer house. The front of the bungalow features a gated driveway leading to an attached garage, offering ample off-street parking and potential for additional parking space with minimal modifications. Inside, the layout currently accommodates multiple living areas and a delightful conservatory, all of which could be easily reconfigured to create additional bedrooms or modern living spaces as desired. The main entrance opens into a sizable reception area that branches off into various rooms including a front-facing bedroom, sitting room, and cozy lounge. The sitting room is generously proportioned with abundant natural light from its bay window and is accented by a traditional wood-burning stove that adds warmth and charm. The separate lounge mirrors this appeal with its own bay window and features an exposed brick fireplace along with built-in cupboards, creating both functionality and aesthetic interest. At the heart of the home lies an expansive kitchen/dining room that offers nearly twenty-three feet of flexible space, perfect for entertaining or family meals. Complete with ample storage options and designated appliance spaces, it also connects through to a utility/laundry room leading to the conservatory. This light-filled conservatory enhances the property's options for use, whether as an extra lounge area, playroom, or workspace. The spacious principal bedroom includes an en suite shower room while the second bedroom enjoys similar generous proportions, aided by another bay window view. A flexible third room currently serves as an office but could easily revert to bedroom use. Outside, the mature landscaped gardens provide beautiful outdoor settings for relaxation or play; however, there remains considerable scope for enhancement or reconfiguration. The adjacent property has successfully extended in recent years indicating similar potential here subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. Located conveniently close to local shops and primary schools as well as scenic nature reserves nearby, this property offers both immediate comfort and long-term investment potential in one of Welwyn's most sought-after areas.
