Substantial five-bedroom period home with sweeping gardens and large outbuildings.
Sprawling half-acre plot with mature, sheltered gardens
An imposing Victorian detached house occupying around half an acre in the heart of Codicote, this five-bedroom residence combines grand period proportions with extensive private grounds. Rooms are notably large throughout — a 550 sq ft drawing room with curved bay, two circular bay bedroom spaces and a dual-aspect principal suite with dressing area and substantial en suite. The house includes a large bright kitchen/family room, separate study, cellar and approximately 700 sq ft of garage and outbuildings, offering excellent storage and workshop potential.
The mature, sheltered garden is a major asset: sweeping lawns, mature hedging and a productive kitchen garden create a private, village-edge setting for family life and entertaining. Practical features include a utility room, garage parking and multiple outbuildings that could suit hobbies, home business use or conversion (subject to consents). Transport links are convenient for commuting — the A1(M) and several nearby stations are within a short drive.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick Victorian property likely built before 1900 with original wall construction and no known cavity insulation; some energy-efficiency upgrades (wall insulation, glazing checks, possible heating modernisation) may be advisable. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Broadband speeds are average for the area. Overall, the house is ideal for a family seeking generous period living and garden space, or for buyers who value architectural character and are prepared to invest in targeted modernisation.
