4 bedroom detached house for sale

* Open Day - Saturday 20 September - By Appointment Only *

Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a detached property with considerable development potential in this premier Knebworth location, on the outskirts of the village but still within easy reach of the High Street and mainline railway station, this characterful 4-bedroom, 3-reception room family home is set within gorgeous gardens of approximately 1/3 of an acre. The bright and already generously proportioned accommodation currently provides 1823 square feet/169.4 square meters of living space comprising on the ground floor: central entrance hall, double aspect lounge with fireplace and French doors leading to the garden, dining room with fireplace, kitchen/breakfast room, family room/office with fireplace (not currently in use), cloakroom, pantry and storeroom. Most of the ground floor rooms still contain the original parquet flooring. On the first floor are 4 double bedrooms and family bathroom. The house has been enjoyed and well looked after by the present owner for several decades, but there is tremendous scope to extend and update the property, subject to the usual planning consents and building regulations. With mature boundaries, the glorious plot has been planted with numerous trees, shrubs and hedges. The driveway is approached via a 5-bar gate, provides parking for several cars and leads to a detached garage.
