A sought-after five-bedroom house on Benslow Rise hit the market for a guide price of £1.25 million, making it the most expensive home listed in Hitchin in June so far.

The detached house has three reception rooms and three bathrooms.

Offered by Country Properties estate agents, the freehold property spreads spaciously over two floors.

The ground floor hosts the dual-aspect living room, dining room, study, and it also has an extended open-plan kitchen with a breakfast room, and a separate utility room.

All five bedrooms are housed on the first floor together with the family bathroom, and a separate shower room.

The current homeowners have extended to enhance the overall living space of the house.

But there's further scope for expanding, subject to the usual planning consents.

In terms of a garden, the estate agents noted: "Outside is a wonderfully private and enclosed rear garden with an expanse of lawn, well-stocked beds and mature trees.

"To the front is a carriage driveway providing off-road parking and a detached garage."

A mere 0.6 miles separates the house from Hitchin town centre, which is reachable in a 13-minute walk.

Even closer is Hitchin train station, a four-minute walk away with the mainline railway station providing direct access to Kings Cross and Cambridge.
