Spacious five-bedroom period home with large gardens and excellent commuter links.
Tudor‑style five-bedroom family house with period character
Set in a peaceful Hertfordshire hamlet between Codicote and Knebworth, this Tudor‑style five-bedroom family house offers generous, flexible living across multiple reception rooms and a substantial plot. The home retains strong period character — leaded windows, exposed timbers and a brick hearth with log burner — arranged around a long, light-filled entrance hall and a suite of interconnecting reception rooms that suit both daily family life and entertaining.
The kitchen is well equipped with fitted cupboards, a central island and a two-oven AGA, adjoining a practical utility room and a large conservatory with heating for year‑round use. Upstairs provides five bedrooms, including a main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, plus a family shower room. Four bedrooms are double-sized and one is currently used as a fitted home office, offering flexible accommodation for families who need workspace at home.
Outside, the house sits on a very large plot with sweeping gravel driveway and off-street parking, formal front lawns, and extensive rear gardens with patios, vegetable beds, two sheds and an open-fronted barn. The location combines true countryside privacy with easy access to A‑roads and fast mainline trains into London, and local schools and village amenities are close by.
Practical points to note: the property is multi-storey and therefore less suitable for limited mobility; there are two bathrooms to service five bedrooms; mobile signal is average. Overall this is a characterful, well-proportioned family home on a substantial garden, best suited to those seeking countryside living with commuter convenience.
