2 bed detached house for sale

Waterloo Lane, Holwell, Hitchin SG5

Set along Waterloo Lane in the peaceful village of Holwell, this individual two bedroom home enjoys lovely open views across the surrounding countryside and offers something a little different from the usual village property.

The house has been designed with an inverted layout, with the bedrooms and bathroom on the lower ground floor and the main living accommodation above. It works particularly well here, allowing the living space to make the most of the natural light and far reaching countryside views.

The ground floor is largely open plan, with a spacious kitchen and reception room measuring approximately 30’2 x 16’0. There is plenty of room for separate living and dining areas, making it a great space for everyday life as well as entertaining friends and family.

The kitchen sits neatly within the main room and provides good storage and worktop space, while the windows and doors bring in plenty of natural light and really make the most of the outlook.

Downstairs there are two well proportioned double bedrooms. The larger bedroom measures approximately 15’11 x 10’6, with the second measuring approximately 12’2 x 12’1. There is also a good sized bathroom on this floor.

Outside, the property benefits from a separate detached office measuring approximately 9’2 x 6’0. It is a really useful addition for anyone working from home and could equally work well as a studio, hobby room or simply a quiet space away from the main house.

A gravel driveway provides off road parking for multiple cars, while the position of the property gives it a wonderfully peaceful feel, with countryside right on the doorstep.

For anyone who enjoys being outdoors, the surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling along local footpaths and quiet country lanes.

Despite its rural setting, Hitchin is still within easy reach, with Hitchin railway station approximately 4.4 miles away. This makes the property a great option for anyone wanting the peace and space of village life while still having the town and its transport links close by.

This is a genuinely individual home in a lovely countryside setting and one that really needs to be viewed to appreciate the outlook, space and unusual layout.
