Detached house for sale in Chantry Lane, Hatfield, Hertfordshire AL10

The Property: A stunning, characterful, detached family home, tucked away in a uniquely private setting, offering versatile accommodation and beautiful front and rear gardens.

Description: Upon turning into the gravelled driveway of this enchanting property, one cannot help but admire the beautiful sunken front garden and surrounding trees and plants, evoking a special ambience straight away.

This double-fronted detached family home, built in the 1890s, retains its original front door and modern, double-glazed sash windows have been installed, in-keeping with the property's traditional style.

A bright entrance hall leads to a dining room on the left and a large, triple-aspect sitting room on the right, with an especially attractive original rear window, which adds to the integrity of the house. A lovely focal point is provided to this delightful room by an attractive open fireplace. A bright, spacious garden room with light domes and splendid views of the stunning rear garden, is accessed from the well-appointed kitchen at the rear of the property. A utility room and a shower room are located to the other side of the garden room.

A traditional staircase leads up from the entrance hall to a wrap-around landing with a broad area at the far end, perfect for a little desk or reading chair, as a window here offers a view of the beautiful front garden. A bedroom and a large, modern family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower sit either side of a useful, broad linen cupboard at the top of the stairs. The double-aspect main bedroom enjoys a super view of the front garden and has built in wardrobes. Another large double bedroom at the front of the house also has fitted wardrobes and a view of the garden.

Outside, at the side of the house, there is a detached garage with power and a separate store room at the rear. A sizeable shed sits in the garden behind the garage as well. The large, picturesque rear garden faces south-west, enjoys the evening sun and benefits from sunny and shady areas throughout the day. A fantastic Magnolia tree and pond in the centre of the garden separates the manicured lawn adjacent to the house from a wide section at the rear, which the vendors considered planting an orchard in! Currently though, it is laid to lawn with vegetable patches, trees and a second shed.
