4 bed detached house for sale

Bishops Road, Tewin, Welwyn AL6

Summary:
Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this delightful four bedroom family home, set on one of the most prestigious and sought after roads within the ever popular village of Tewin. With spacious and well proportioned living space, two fabulous all weather terraces and a large swimming pool within a detached pool house, this attractive property has an interesting split level layout, generous off street parking and enjoys a semi-rural position that is only minutes from the bustling and vibrant village of Welwyn.

Accommodation:
The solid wood front door, with full length glazed panels either side, is set within a generous tiled roof porch, and welcomes you into a light, bright entrance hall. From here, there are stairs up and down to the different levels within the house, as well as, doors through to the family room and perfectly placed guest cloakroom. At the far end of the entrance hall, a large full length window helps to illuminate the space and also offers a wonderful view out into the rear garden. The family room is a large, well balanced room, abundantly lit throughout the day by a four pane window to the front and a generous set of bi-fold doors to the rear. This room is certainly large enough to take on multiple roles for you and would comfortably embrace a formal dining suite, as well as, lounge furniture, should you wish it. The house has multiple connections out into the rear garden, with substantial all weather terraces running its full width. The family room is one of the beneficiaries, making it very usable to exploit the outside/inside flow during day to day family life as well as when entertaining guests.

Down a short flight of stairs from the entrance hall is an inner hallway serving the living room and the kitchen/dining room. The front facing living room is a large square room giving you abundant options for furnishing and layout to best suit your needs.

Spacious enough to easily absorb multiple sofas, chairs and other occasional furniture besides, the room is bathed in natural light through the four pane window to the front and the two separate windows set into the side wall. Between the two side windows the modern fireplace offers a nice visual balance to the space as well as an appealing focal point. To the rear of the living room is the superb kitchen/dining room. This is an absolute triumph of clean, minimalist design, with bright white worktops matching the ceiling and walls offset by the muted grey tones of the fitted cupboards and tiled floor. A substantial central island dominates the room, perfectly positioned in front of the large sliding glass doors that open onto the lower terrace, providing a great social space as well as ergonomically hosting multiple storage cupboards and the inset hob and sink. Additional storage is provided by cupboards subtly absorbed into recessed wall spaces, incorporating a full range of premium appliances whilst keeping the overall feel of the room neat, clean and clutter free. The remainder of the room extends into a delightful bay window and is left as open floor space, ready to be occupied by a large dining table and chairs. A lovely spot for casual or formal dining with family and friends.

The first floor, like the ground floor, enjoys a split level arrangement with a short flight of stairs between the two levels. Both hallways are well lit by a front facing window and lead to the four bedrooms and the immaculate family bathroom, which boasts a separate bath and shower. Three of the bedrooms are generous doubles in size, each of which benefits from substantial fitted wardrobes. One of them also has useful eaves storage.

Exterior:
The property is set well back from the quiet residential road on which it sits, with a long driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles, before opening out into a further parking area in front of the house. Mature hedges and nicely filled borders line the perimeter, softly framing the house as it blends into the surrounding natural landscape. The property enjoys an appealing frontage with a variety of levels, roof lines and attractive patterned brick work. There is convenient side access through to the rear which is an absolute joyful celebration of nature. A capacious all weather decking terrace runs across the full width of the house, with two levels matching the interior to give easy access out from both the kitchen/dining room and the family room. The terrace is elevated from the garden, presenting a wonderful vista of hedges, bushes, trees and the substantial lawn as it sweeps away before you, following the natural topography of the land. What a lovely place for spending time together as a family, and a super cool entertaining space. At the far boundary of the garden is the swimming pool, located within a beautiful timber pool house nestled harmoniously into the woodland setting.
