West Hill, Hitchin

A beautifully presented and attractive 1930`s built detached house that stands on a private, southerly facing landscaped plot with off street parking.

West Hill is both a popular and established residential location on the west side of town. It is well placed for many amenities including the vibrant town centre, good schools covering all age ranges plus Waitrose and attractive countryside at Oughton Head.

The property has been refitted and remodelled and now stylishly blends in our opinion, original character with modern contemporary design to create a very practical and stylish home. The accommodation features a wide entrance hall with a modern cloakroom. A front family room with a walk in bay window and central fireplace. A particular feature of the property is a large open plan social kitchen with built in appliances, utility room and is open plan to the spacious dining room that has direct garden access. The traditional sitting room with central log burner is also worth noting.

Upstairs there are four large bedrooms plus a modern family bathroom and separate shower room. The vaulted ceilings within the main and third bedrooms are also fabulous features.

An early viewing of this stunning home comes highly recommended!
