A substantial extended four-double-bedroom detached house occupying just over one third of an acre on the edge of Markyate. The property offers nearly 2,900 sq.ft. of versatile living space with formal reception rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, study and snug — well suited to family living, home working or multi‑generational households.
The house is tucked behind mature hedging with two five-bar gates, multiple parking areas and a large double garage with power and lighting. Principal reception rooms include a 24ft sitting room with an inglenook brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, a formal dining room with open fireplace, and a study with garden access. A refitted ground-floor bathroom and a newly refitted master en-suite add contemporary convenience.
Practical considerations: some interior areas show dated decor and will benefit from updating to match the property’s size and potential. The EPC is rated E and primary fuel is electricity with an air-source heat pump — this combination may mean higher running costs depending on tariff and usage. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is described as expensive; the area has above-average crime statistics compared with nearby locations.
Location is a strong selling point: quiet, semi-rural setting with countryside walks on the doorstep, short drive to Harpenden rail links to London, and easy access to the M1 (J9). Local village amenities, good primary schools and independent schools nearby make this a practical choice for families seeking space, privacy and commuter convenience.
