This 1930s detached family house in Knebworth sits on roughly a 1/3-acre plot and offers immediate scope for modernisation and extension (subject to planning). The well-proportioned accommodation totals about 1,823 sq ft across two floors: central hall, three reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility/pantry and four double bedrooms above. Many original features remain, including parquet flooring and fireplaces, and large windows provide good natural light throughout.
The plot is a major asset — mature boundaries, established planting and a long gravel driveway with a five-bar gate leading to a detached garage. The house is chain-free and freehold, close to the High Street and mainline station, making it convenient for schools, local shops and transport links. Parking for several cars is available on the driveway.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and updating throughout; the energy rating is E (45) and there is a single family bathroom. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Prospective buyers should factor in likely costs for kitchen/bathroom upgrades, insulation and any planned extensions.
For a buyer seeking a character home with a large, private plot in a very affluent area, this property offers strong potential — whether to renovate as a long-term family house, reconfigure and extend, or retain as an investment. Note that local plans include proposed development in nearby areas, so check North Herts District Council proposals when assessing long-term outlook.
