Truly deceptive, extended, chalet bungalow on a large plot with beautiful gardens, ample parking and a fine standard of presentation throughout.
LOCATION
A non-estate position toward the south end of Arlesey meaning easy access to Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City around 8-10 mins drive. London Row is a no-through road less than 5 mins walk to Arlesey's local shops and the row of bungalows and chalets on the right hand side enjoy rear gardens facing just west of due south - surely the sunniest aspect there is!
ACCOMMODATION
We've used the word deceptive as at first glance this may appear as a small detached bungalow although with the benefit of the two-storey rear extension, this property now offers 4 bedrooms with a first floor Master & Ensuite and bedroom 4 currently used as a study. The extension to the rear incorporates a large, family-size Kitchen/Dining Room, separate Utility Room, rear hall & WC, plus an excellent size conservatory overlooking the garden.
PRESENTATION
The home has been re-decorated and impeccably maintained and presents a move-in-ready opportunity.
HIGH POINTS & EXTRAS
Clearly the extension is an extra in itself, although there are numerous other added features that make this property so interesting:
* Air conditioning in Master Bedroom (upstairs), Bedroom 2 (principle bedroom ground floor) and the Kitchen/Dining Room (positioned adjacent to the Conservatory doors).
* Automatic skylight openers in the Conservatory roof
* "Walk-in" access to original attic space accessed via Master Bedroom (note: low height door access but you don"t need a ladder)
* Separate Utility Room: keep your laundry out of the Kitchen.
* Cloakroom/WC right by back door, ideal "garden" facility.
* Bay-front, dual aspect Living Room with feature fireplace.
* Garage/workshop has double doors front and back
* Rear plot in three sections:
* Patio leading onto extensive lawn
* Beyond the lawn is delightful "planting garden" with Summerhouse
* The back part of the plot has a large concrete surface hardstanding area with two sheds and broad double gates to the rear providing pedestrian access to rear public footpath.
PLOT
Approx 840 sq m / 9000 sq ft / 0.2 acre subject to site survey. This is a very generous plot facing south to the rear and allows for several vehicle parking at the front and approx 54m / 175 ft rear garden. Note that any rear vehicular access is subject to agreement with local landowner.

Arlesey is a large, growing village just North of the Beds/Herts border, surrounded by countryside yet within easy reach of the A507 and A1(M). The village offers a range of local shopping, pubs and food outlets and significantly a Mainline Railway station with direct travel to London St. Pancras in under 40 minutes. Dating back as long as the 1086 Domesday Book, there is a broad range of home styles and building eras - something for everyone! Gothic Mede Academy provides Primary education in the middle of the village, with numerous Secondary options including Etonbury Academy on the Arlesey/Stotfold border. Further facilities and shopping are available within a few miles in the larger towns of Letchworth Garden City and Hitchin to the South.
