The Property

Built in 1980 and seeing extensive works over recent years, the property presents the perfect blend of warm and homely, fresh and modern. The current owners have much experience in refurbishing, and they’ve done an excellent job here. They’ve lived here since 1999, and no wonder—it really is a house you’ll want to call home for many years to come.

Between 2016 and 2022, the list of works included a new boiler, new radiators and a new heating system, redecorating throughout, as well as refitting the kitchen, the bathroom and the shower room. To improve energy efficiency, they increased insulation, and to reduce maintenance, they replaced facias and gutters.

By adding a ceiling in the conservatory, this is now an all-seasons dining room, with panoramic windows affording lots of natural light and a wonderful backdrop of the garden. Being connected to both the kitchen and the lounge, there’s flow between cooking, dining and after-dinner drinks, and French doors onto the patio are ideal for when hosting summer parties outside.

The kitchen is fitted in a wide selection of Shaker-style cabinets, topped with ample wooden work surfaces, and with an inset ceramic sink. There’s a peninsula for casual seating, and a central island for more surfacing. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, a fridge, a drink fridge, an induction hob and an extractor, a microwave, and a total of four ovens, two of these used just for cakes as the owners are avid bakers. There’s a gap for a fridge/freezer in the kitchen, and a washing machine and a tumble dryer in the utility room, where there’s also extra storage, surfacing, and a ceramic Belfast sink.

Heading upstairs, light and airy accommodation continues to four bedrooms and the bathroom. The primary bedroom has a whole wall of wardrobes, bedroom two has a double wardrobe, and bedroom three has a single wardrobe and high-level cupboards. For further storage, the landing has an airing cupboard, as well as a pull-down ladder to access the part-boarded loft.

The bathroom on the first floor and the shower room on the ground floor are both fitted in modern suites in superb condition. The four-piece bathroom is in white and grey with chrome fixtures and fittings, while the shower room is in neutral, natural shades.

The Plot

To the front of the plot, parking is no problem, with a driveway for two or three cars, and a double garage for two more. The garage is also useful for substantial storage, and there’s a door from the hallway for easy access from inside the house.

The front garden faces south, and is mainly lawned, with thriving roses, fragrant lavender, and laurel hedging to one side. A gated side passageway leads to the rear garden, and this is handy for hiding bins.

The rear garden is particularly pretty with its lush, colourful planting. The owners have encouraged wildlife with bird feeders and baths, and bees and butterflies love it too. A tall tree to one corner gives privacy to the plot, and there are also high fences.

Set over two tiers, there’s a lower patio providing plenty of seating, and an upper area consisting of a circular lawn and a circular patio. A bespoke pergola is in place over the patio, and this part of the garden catches sun into the evenings for enjoying the garden for as long as possible. The owners have placed a bench to the other side as this is where morning sun lands, making for a lovely spot for that first sip of coffee.

The Position

Chase Hill Road is a no through road in the centre of Arlesey, a small town on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border, between the larger towns of Hitchin and Letchworth. Popular as a commuter-friendly spot, Arlesey provides convenient connection by road via the A1(M), and into London by rail, with services into St Pancras in as little as 38 minutes.

The town offers an array of amenities. Within a short distance of the property are local shops for all the essentials, pubs for grabbing a pint, takeaways including the holy trinity of fish and chips, Chinese and Indian, as well as dog groomers and a barbers, a doctors and a pharmacy. As for schooling, there’s a pre-school, Gothic Mede Academy for primary ages, while secondaries and independents can be found in surrounding towns.

Whether you prefer to unwind or work out in your spare time, you’re close to Champneys in Henlow, Bannatyne health club and spa in Fairfield Park, and Pendleton Sports Centre in neighbouring Stotfold. There are angling and sailing clubs to the south of Arlesey, allotments on the edge, Henlow Bridge Lakes to the north, and nature reserves and rivers run to the north and east.

To keep all ages entertained, there are events like Easter egg hunts and food festivals, classes such as martial arts, music and drama, clubs such as Scouts, and the town has a semi-professional football club.
