Desirable West Side Location
This utterly charming, extended two-three bedroom home exudes warmth and comfort throughout, thanks in no small part to an abundance of original, characterful features.
The ground floor benefits from a bright, welcoming entrance hall, a delightful front sitting room with built-in shelves and cupboards and a large, dual aspect living room with French doors onto the rear garden. A third reception room at the rear of the property, benefits from fitted wardrobes and an adjacent W/C and as such, serves equally well as a study or third bedroom.
The well-appointed, recently fitted, spacious kitchen, boasts attractive quartz worktops, a range of units, high quality integrated appliances and a lovely view of the secluded rear garden. The adjoining, triple aspect dining room has an external door to the side of the property.
Upstairs, two large, dual aspect double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, await. Both bedrooms have wash basins, indicating the potential for the creation of en-suite shower rooms. Extensive eaves storage is accessible throughout the upstairs rooms. The bright, lofty landing presents a linen cupboard and a separate airing cupboard. A modern shower room is located adjacent to a sizeable W/C with wash basin.
Externally, a garage is located to the side of the house and a large paved garden to the front, is surrounded by an extensive gravelled driveway, which provides parking for multiple vehicles. There is access all around the property, from front to back. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a generous patio and a shed for storage. This beautifully secluded garden, from where birdsong can be enjoyed, is remarkably peaceful.

The Old Drive, originally the site of a farm, is located off of Handside Lane, a stone's throw from the renowned Applecroft Primary School. It is an especially private, desirable location on the sought-after west side of Welwyn Garden City. Conveniently, local shopping amenities and a dentist surgery are a short walk away, as is Stanborough Secondary School. The vibrant town centre, including Gosling Sports Centre, an array of cafes and restaurants, John Lewis, Waitrose, Sainsbury's, The Howard Shopping Centre and a mainline train station (London Kings Cross 25 minutes) are all within walking distance too. Major road links (A1M motorway) and the popular Hatfield Galleria shopping centre are just a short drive away.
