A charming and substantial five-bedroom detached family house, built circa 1926, situated on the outskirts of the village yet within a short distance of the mainline rail link and village shopping facilities. The property has been a much-loved home for over 30 years and has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled to combine its original period character with the space and practicality required for modern family living. Offering in excess of 2,850 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors, the house is complemented by a mature rear garden, double garage and generous driveway parking. The welcoming entrance hall has a turning staircase and provides access to a generous sitting room with a multi-fuel burner, formal dining room with open fireplace, sizeable family room, well-equipped fitted office and an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with triple-aspect windows and doors opening onto the garden. A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The first floor offers a wide central landing, five excellent bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, two of which provide en-suite facilities. Outside, the mature rear garden provides a good degree of privacy and an excellent setting for entertaining and family life. A side patio provides convenient access to the double garage, while to the front is a generous driveway providing parking for up to four cars. Energy Rating: D As with many local villages, the current local plan includes areas of proposed development. For further details visit the North Herts District Council website.
