Description

Situated on an expansive corner plot, this end-of-terrace home presents a valuable opportunity for renovation and investment. Currently configured as a three-bedroom residence, the property showcases flexibility in its layout, which could be enhanced with thoughtful modifications or extensions, pending the necessary planning approvals. The ground floor features a bright dual-aspect lounge that provides ample living space, accompanied by a separate kitchen ideal for culinary pursuits. Additionally, there’s a versatile room currently utilized as a utility area, which could be repurposed to suit your needs. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has been ingeniously subdivided into two distinct spaces, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom along with a separate WC. This arrangement can easily accommodate growing families or work-from-home arrangements. Outdoor space is another highlight, including a private rear garden and off-street parking. The side space offers further potential for future development or redesign, making it an attractive canvas for those looking to add value through renovations. Located in the desirable Howicks Green cul-de-sac on the southern side of Welwyn Garden City, this property is conveniently positioned near Commonswood Primary School and a nearby woodland reserve. Major road links are easily accessible, and local shopping options are just a short drive away. The town center—with stores such as John Lewis, Waitrose, and Sainsbury's—and the mainline railway station providing quick access to London Kings Cross (in approximately 28 minutes) further enhance the location’s appeal. This home is being offered with no onward chain, presenting an ideal chance for buyers keen to personalize their living space while also exploring investment potential in an increasingly sought-after area.
