Property insight: A rare chance to secure a true renovation project in Hitchin. This two-bedroom detached bungalow, set on a generous corner plot with a double garage, offers huge potential for transformation into a stunning family home. With planning permission already granted, the hard work has been started – now it’s ready for your vision. Located on a spacious corner plot, the property benefits from a double garage and sizeable front garden.  Entering via an enclosed porch and glazed internal door, the entrance hall to the property is wide and flooded with natural light.  The flooring throughout the main living areas is beautiful, original parquet, ready to be restored to its former glory.  An internal hallway leads through to the large sitting room – an enviably large space which is open plan to the dining room.  Large windows introduce plenty of light and a fireplace provides a focal point.  The dining room has both access to kitchen and direct access to the terrace via large sliding doors, providing a practical flow and fantastic opportunities for hosting friends and family.  Although in need of refurbishment, it’s easy to see how fantastic the proportions are and the vast potential to make this an amazing family living space.  The kitchen is also accessible via the hallway and requires updating.  Although compact, there is plenty of scope for reconfiguration.  A glazed door leads through to a large utility room, providing further opportunity for a new layout. The two double bedrooms are well-proportioned, with one currently featuring built-in cabinetry and a concealed wash basin.  Large windows make both bedrooms lovely and bright.  Completing the internal layout are a family bathroom with pale peach suite, including a full-size bath, and a large cloakroom.  Outside, there is a block-paved patio which extends to the large, wrap-around garden.  Currently rather overgrown, the garden is brimming with landscaping potential to become a real asset. Sold with planning permission, this neglected gem is offered with no onward chain.  This is a rare opportunity for those looking for a serious renovation project in one of Hitchin’s sought-after locations. Planning Permissions - 24/02221/FPH. The property benefits from exciting potential, with approved plans for significant enhancements including a raised roof with front and rear dormer windows to create first-floor living space, conversion of the existing garage into a bright dining room with new windows, and a stylish open-sided porch. In addition, a new vehicular access off Hawthorn Close will further enhance convenience and accessibility. Hitchin continues to be one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable towns.  With excellent transport links (fast trains to London Kings Cross take just 28 minutes and Cambridge just 33 minutes), Hitchin often features as one of the best places to live in the UK.  The town centre offers a wide selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a market, and has a thriving local community.  Hitchin also benefits from several schools which are rated outstanding, including the historic and renowned Hitchin Girls’ and Hitchin Boys’ schools.
