Spacious, tranquil four bedroom family home in historic town 30 minutes from London or Cambridge

Our house is a spacious four bedroom family home in a quiet enclave of Hitchin, a charming market town which is a 30 minute train ride from central London, and 30 minutes from Cambridge in the other direction.

From our house, it's an easy 10 minute walk into Hitchin town centre which offers plenty of delicious restaurants, boutiques, traditional pubs and bars, parks and sports facilities. We're also close to several large supermarkets for food shopping. The surrounding Hertfordshire countryside is just on our doorstep, with its gently rolling hills and stately homes; great for refreshing walks and days out. Cambridge is also 30 minutes away by train if you fancy visiting one of the world's oldest universities and having a punt on the river.

Our home is detached with two floors. It has a large kitchen-dining area, a separate sitting room, study, utility room and toilet downstairs; and four bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs, as well as a newly renovated ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom (with bath and great digital rain shower). Three of the bedrooms have double beds, and the fourth bedroom has a single bed.

We have a quiet, private garden at the back with children's play equipment and a table and chairs for al fresco eating in the summer. It's totally enclosed so very safe for children to play in. The neighbourhood is peaceful and quiet.

We have fast wifi and all the usual TV streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, etc.). We have plenty of children's games, toys, etc.

About the neighborhood

Hitchin is an attractive market town which offers boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional British pubs, parks and sports facilities. There are plenty of local villages with quaint pubs too. It's very well located, with a fast train service to central London (London King's Cross is just 30 mins on the quickest trains) and to Cambridge (31 mins). We live in a small cul-de-sac of houses which is quiet and peaceful. We're a 10 minute walk into town, or to the train station.

We're also well served by the London airports, with London Luton a 20 minute drive away, Heathrow around an hour's drive, and London Stansted about 50 minutes' drive.

Sehr nette Tauschfamilie, wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt und hatten gute Kommunikation miteinander. Das Haustauschhaus war tiptop!

Hello! We're the Howard family - Kirstin, Andrew and our two daughters aged seven and five. We enjoy being active - walking, cycling, running, skiing - cultural activities, eating and drinking, and of course exploring the world. Kirstin has been "Intervac'ing" with her family since she was seven (a long time ago!), and has many fond memories of holidays all over the globe. We did our first exchange as a couple in 2017 and have since done three great family swaps to Munich, Germany (2019), Karlsruhe, Germany (2022) and Denmark (2023) as well as several swaps with Kirstin's parents in between.

We're interested in:
- A ~2 week swap in summer 2026. Flexible on location but would love a pool and some sun
- A ~4-7 day swap to a ski area in winter 2026
- Any other offers for shorter breaks throughout the year, including in the UK and Ireland

We sometimes bring a couple of grandparents with us too.
