Set on an elevated one-acre plot on the edge of Codicote, this substantial detached home offers flexible living across three floors and roughly 4,800 sq ft. Large reception rooms and a generous kitchen/diner face open countryside, while a self-contained two-bedroom bungalow and a top-floor studio provide true multigenerational or annex potential. Triple glazing and solar panels help with running costs, and two double garages plus gated parking deliver plenty of space for vehicles.
This property will suit a large family or buyers seeking flexible accommodation and outdoor space. Local schools include outstanding primaries and a strong secondary option nearby; the village offers countryside walks, local amenities and straightforward links to Welwyn and Hitchin. Internally the house presents high-quality finishes, bespoke joinery and large principal rooms that make entertaining easy.
Important practical points: the site falls within a high flood-risk area, broadband speeds are very slow, and the main heating runs from an LPG boiler (not on a community gas supply). Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house dates from the 1930s–1940s with solid brick walls and external insulation, so ongoing maintenance and lifecycle works should be considered.
With generous grounds, panoramic valley vistas and clear scope to reconfigure or separate accommodation, this home offers strong long-term lifestyle potential for buyers who prioritise space and seclusion. Prospective purchasers should factor in flood mitigation, connectivity upgrades and heating arrangements when assessing overall running costs and future works.
