4 bed detached house for sale

Whinbush Grove, Hitchin, Hertfordshire SG5

Whinbush House is a truly one-of-a-kind Hitchin home - a characterful period property of approximately 1,890 sq ft, combining original features with an impressive contemporary living space, a private courtyard garden and the rare benefit of parking for up to five cars, all within easy walking distance of the town centre.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to a convenient downstairs cloakroom and leads into a spacious sitting room with an open fireplace.

There is also a bright and comfortable family room and a versatile fourth bedroom/study. This flexible room also provides access to a useful basement space, offering excellent options as a home office, gym or hobby room.

The family room opens into a delightful garden room, surrounded by full-height glazing and overlooking the private courtyard. From here, the house opens up dramatically into the double-height kitchen/dining room - a wonderful space for everyday family life and entertaining. A separate utility room adds further practicality, while bi-folding doors open directly from the dining area onto the enclosed courtyard garden.

The courtyard is a particularly special feature of Whinbush House: Private, sheltered and wonderfully secluded, it provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has its own sizeable en-suite bathroom, alongside two further double bedrooms and a separate shower room.

To the front, a block-paved driveway, together with a storage shed, provides off-road parking for up to five vehicles - an exceptional and highly sought-after feature for a property so close to the centre of Hitchin.

Whinbush House offers a rare combination of period character, generous and highly flexible living space, an exceptional central location and unusually generous parking. The historic town centre with its wide range of independent shops, restaurants and amenities are all within easy walking distance, and Hitchin railway station just a ten minute walk, with direct trains providing a journey of around 30 minutes to London St Pancras.

The property is also well placed for highly regarded local schools, including Hitchin Boys' and Hitchin Girls' schools.

A viewing is highly recommended.
