This substantial Victorian semi-detached home sits within about 1.5 acres of mature gardens and grounds, directly adjoining a quiet stretch of the River Beane and marshland. The house retains period features—high ceilings, exposed beams and a large brick fireplace—and provides generous living space across two storeys: four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, a large extended kitchen/diner, and useful utility and outbuilding accommodation.
The site includes a large commercial-style yard and substantial outbuildings, offering flexible ancillary uses or storage. Planning permission has been granted for a detached additional dwelling on the plot (planning ref: 3/22/2126/FUL), increasing development potential while the main house remains suitable for comfortable family occupation.
Buyers should note several material points: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, the external walls are solid brick with no known insulation, and the double glazing install date is unknown. There is a medium flood risk for the area. These factors may affect running costs and future retrofit work but also present opportunities to add value through sympathetic upgrades and insulation improvements.
Overall this character home will suit a family seeking generous indoor space and extensive private grounds, or an investor/developer wanting a unique riverside plot with consented development potential. The combination of privacy, village location and room for improvement makes it a rare offering in this part of Hertfordshire.
