A modern and very well maintained family home, with a driveway for two and a lovely garden, on the doorstep of green spaces and just a 5-minute drive to town, the station and Stanborough Lakes.

The Property

26 Hunters Way is a superb family home. The house has that warm, well-loved feel you often find at a more traditional property, yet recent refurbishment by the current owners has given it a fresh lease of life. Not only has the home been modernised and improved, it’s also been maintained to immaculate standards throughout – offering new owners a readymade property they can move right into.

As well as quality and cohesive redecoration, updates and improvements here include Nest smart heating and smart smoke/carbon monoxide detectors plus triple glazing for energy efficiency, built-in ceiling speakers for that party vibe, a 5-lock front door for security, and a water softener and underfloor heating in the bathroom and kitchen for day-to-day comfort. The boiler was moved into the loft to free up cupboard space in the kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of white Shaker-style cupboards and drawers topped with dark quartz surfacing. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, an electric oven, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher and a slimline wine fridge. Added extras include shimmery splashback tiling, floor-level and under-unit lighting, and a pull-out hose tap at the sink.

An open-plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of any home – and 26 Hunters Way is no different. It’s where the kids will do their homework after school while you prepare dinner, where you’ll eat together as a family, where you’ll catch up over a cuppa at the breakfast bar, and where you can host friends for a sit-down feast. A back door onto the garden lets you easily take socialising outside on sunny days.

Away from activity in the open-plan area is a lounge at the front of the house, providing a cosier, separate space to watch telly and unwind. A southeast-facing window draws in lots of natural light, ideal for settling down with a book.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms. These share the family bathroom, fully tiled in neutral grey and white and fitted with a three-piece Villeroy & Boch suite. The bath has both a rainhead and a handheld shower, and the sink sits on top of storage, handy for keeping toiletries tidied away and out of sight.

The airing cupboard on the landing is shelved for towels and sheets, and the loft (via hatch from the landing) grants useful storage space for bulky items like suitcases, seasonal items like the Christmas decorations, and sentimental items you just can’t let go of. A deep cupboard in the hall provides even more storage, or could perhaps become a cloakroom…

The Plot

The plot at 26 Hunters Way is another big appeal for a family. The garden is a good size, yet low maintenance – there’s even an irrigation system for watering the plants. With less work to be done in the garden, you can focus time and energy elsewhere.

From the house is a full-width patio for plenty of seating, and another patio in the back corner offers even more. The neat lawn has beds at the sides stocked with mature planting, including a beautiful camelia tree. The fence nearest the kitchen has herb boxes, so you can quickly grab a handful when cooking.

At the end of the garden is a versatile cabin and a shed to store bikes (bikes can be brought through via a gated side passageway). The cabin has power so can be used as a garden office if needed. If not, it’s a space you can enjoy the garden from even when it’s raining, or simply extra storage away from the house.

The Position

Hunters Way is the perfect position for a family. On the doorstep are green spaces including King George V playing fields and The Commons and Porter Taylor Woods nature reserves. Also nearby are 126-acre Stanborough Lakes and the comprehensive Gosling Sports Park.

As for schooling, nurseries and primaries are within walking distance, and the nearest secondary is Stanborough School a 10-minute cycle away. Ridgeway Academy is only a little further.

Welwyn Garden City town centre is a 5-minute drive away, where you’ll find cafés and restaurants, shops and services, doctors and dentists, even a cinema and a theatre. The town hosts varied events throughout the year, and there are lots of clubs and classes for all ages and interests. For convenience, there’s a parade of shops just a 10-minute walk from Hunters Way.

As well as with families, Welwyn Garden City is popular with commuters. Rail services into London King’s Cross take half an hour, and you can reach the M25 by car in about 15 minutes and the M1 in 25.
