Set back on a private no-through road in picturesque Benington, this substantial five-bedroom detached farmhouse offers almost 3,700 sq ft of flexible family accommodation and sits on a generous 0.596 acre plot. The ground floor provides a dual-aspect lounge with wood-burning stove, formal dining room, separate reception room and a character farmhouse kitchen with Aga, alongside a large utility/boot room and cloakroom. Upstairs there are five bedrooms, two ensuite shower rooms and a family bathroom.
The mature rear garden faces west and extends to approximately 146ft depth, offering privacy, lawned areas and scope for landscaping or play space. A double carport sits to the side with an adjoining ground-floor room and a large loft room above, accessible via its own entrance from the garden – a useful space with genuine potential to convert to a home office or annexe, subject to necessary planning consents.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, has oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed before 2002. Energy efficiency is currently rated E. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average in the village, which should be considered if remote working is essential. Routine updating may be desired to tailor interiors and improve energy performance.
Benington is a sought-after village with a primary school rated Good, village amenities and easy road access to Stevenage and Hertford. Commuters have rail links from nearby stations into London in around 30 minutes, while Stansted and Luton airports are within reasonable driving distance. This house will suit a growing family seeking country living with room for home-working or a separate annexe project.
