Set behind electric gates in a semi‑rural hamlet, this substantial five‑bedroom house balances traditional character with contemporary open‑plan living. Much improved and extended by the current owners, the home offers nearly 4,800 sq ft of flexible accommodation including multiple reception rooms, a magnificent kitchen/dining/family space with underfloor heating, and a principal bedroom suite with walk‑in wardrobes and a large en suite.
The plot is a major asset: extensive formal gardens, a paved terrace for alfresco dining and around an acre of adjoining paddock suitable for small‑scale equestrian or hobby farming. Mature trees and hedging give strong privacy, while electric gates, a long gravel driveway and off‑street parking accommodate multiple vehicles. Useful ancillary space includes a garage with storeroom and W.C., a machinery/garden store and a dry cellar.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold, has no flood risk and sits in a very affluent area well placed for the M1/A14 and rail services to London. Local primary schools are highly rated, though village amenities are limited.
Buyers should note material running costs: Council Tax Band G is high and the property uses a private cesspit. Although recently renovated throughout and finished to a high standard, the house is a period build (c.1900–1929) and will require ongoing maintenance typical of older rural homes.
