Description

This charming four-bedroom detached chalet-style bungalow is nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac within the desirable village of Datchworth. Enjoying a prime position that backs directly onto serene open farmland, this red-brick property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation or redevelopment (subject to planning permission). The home features spacious and adaptable living areas, set on a generous plot that hints at further expansion possibilities. The layout includes a welcoming entrance hallway, a fitted kitchen, and an inviting conservatory that captures the peaceful rural views. On the ground floor, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms—one with an en-suite shower room—as well as a family bathroom. The flexible configuration allows for one bedroom to serve as an additional reception room or home office. Upstairs, there is a fourth bedroom along with a cloakroom/W.C., making it suitable for guests or as a dedicated workspace. Outside, the expansive rear garden, stretching approximately 70ft, offers ample space to create your own outdoor retreat while enjoying stunning countryside vistas. The property's private carriage driveway accommodates several vehicles, complemented by a garage for storage or workshop use. Located in the highly regarded village of Datchworth, known for its vibrant community and charming amenities—including local shops and pubs—this property successfully balances countryside tranquility with accessibility to nearby towns like Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage.
