White Chimneys, Welwyn

White Chimneys is a substantial detached residence positioned within a highly regarded Oaklands location, offering a semi-rural setting with countryside walks quite literally on your doorstep, whilst still remaining conveniently accessible to both Welwyn Garden City and Knebworth, each providing mainline rail links and a range of everyday amenities.
This impressive, chain-free gated family home extends to 2,863 sq ft and occupies a beautifully maintained plot of 0.7 of an acre, enjoying a high degree of privacy. The property has been carefully cared for over the years and now presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take on a well-balanced home with further potential to enhance or adapt, subject to requirements.
The accommodation is both versatile and well-proportioned, immediately evident as you enter via a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to the principal living areas. The bedroom arrangement is thoughtfully laid out, comprising four generous bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite facilities, whilst a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
An inner hall provides a particularly pleasant additional space, ideal for a reading corner or a quiet morning coffee, and leads through to the main living accommodation. There is a comfortable sitting room, a separate dining room ideal for entertaining, and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room which in turn leads to a useful utility room and cloakroom. Further complementing the accommodation is a separate study, perfect for those working from home, along with a conservatory enjoying views over the rear garden and allowing for excellent natural light throughout.
Externally, the property continues to impress. Accessed via gates, the frontage opens onto a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leading to a double garage. The surrounding gardens are a real feature of the home, being predominantly laid to lawn and exceptionally well stocked with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees. Several seating areas have been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the plot, creating ideal spaces for outdoor dining or relaxing, whilst also providing a safe and secure environment for children to enjoy.
Offered for sale chain free, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of this scale within such a desirable Oaklands setting. Having remained in the same ownership for over 52 years, the property represents a truly special offering, now ready for its next chapter. Furthermore, subject to the necessary planning consents, there is clear scope to extend further, including the potential to create a second floor, allowing a purchaser to adapt and grow the home to suit their individual requirements
