A beautifully presented, five bedroom detached house located in Langley Village, a rural hamlet south of Hitchin, Hertfordshire under four miles from the A1 (M) motorway featuring a south facing garden, double garage and over 2000SQFT of accommodation
‘Escapism’ is an increasingly used term in sections of the media to describe the trend of people wishing to migrate away from towns and cities to the utopian ideal that is countryside living. A true example to fulfil this dream for many, Woodview Lodge is a five bedroom detached family home in a beautiful rural village setting, community based yet still only six miles from the nearest mainline station into Kings Cross. Constructed in 1978 with over 2000sqft of accommodation and a 100ft rear garden the property is positioned at the very base of a small enclave of distinctive and highly individual houses beyond the outer boundaries of the Knebworth Park Estate. With the appearance of being considerably older in age the property is an eclectic mix of exposed red brickwork and white smooth render maximizing its charm and curb appeal from the road. Offered chain free and with breathtaking countryside views this is a property that will be sure to keep any future owners, happy and contented for years to come.
Step Inside:
Leading up past the large driveway and covered storm porch the main entrance gives access into a bright and welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising off the right to the upper level and doors to the principal reception rooms. To the immediate right is the duel aspect dining room which faces back onto the driveway and straight ahead double doors open up into the main living area. Again, duel aspect this 23ft x 22ft room is a superb space bathed in natural light featuring faux beams, French doors and an open fire.
Continued:
Back off the hallway the aforementioned kitchen is undeniably the heart of the home, again featuring faux beams and oak stained architraves this wonderful room also features shaker style units, a breakfast seating area, a larder cupboard and a separate utility room. The kitchen then continues into a large conservatory, ideal for relaxing or socializing with guests which in turn gives access onto the rear patio. Also, on the ground floor is a versatile study which is ideal for modern homeworking and a downstairs cloakroom off the utility room.
Step upstairs:
Venturing up-stairs the centrally positioned landing gives access to both the bedrooms and bathrooms and houses an airing cupboard. The master bedroom is to the left of the stairs and features a superb en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. Of the remaining bedrooms, three of the four are large doubles and are served off a family four piece bathroom with both a standalone shower and traditional bath.
Step Outside:
Set back from the street scene on a slightly elevated plot the front is dominated by a large pea shingled drive for multiple vehicles providing access to the detached double garage. For buyers who wish to work from home in a separate self-contained office or for the extended family the garage could be easily converted to create an Annexe for guests, teenagers or grandparents thanks to its cavity brick construction and RSJ supported first floor. A manicured lawn area circumvents the drive which is further complimented with low level privets and a trailing Clematis. To the side of the garage a sectioned paved area which creates shade from the summer sun which could be further developed upon connecting the utility with the garage.
Step Outside Continued:
Without doubt one of the standout features of the property however is the rear garden, a beautiful sun trap which favourably faces south west providing full sun throughout the day. The plot itself extends approximately 100ft x 90ft and features a flagged patio and ‘Al Fresco’ seating area, pergola with vine and Wisteria canopy, manicured lawn, low level brick and shrub borders and mature deciduous trees and trimmed hedged boundaries.
