Cliff House is a distinguished Victorian double-fronted residence set just a short stroll from Ashwell village centre and the Ashwell Springs. The house combines preserved period features—sash windows, high ceilings and feature fireplaces—with generous, well-proportioned living spaces for modern family life. The ground floor layout includes two formal reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner and a handy office with garden access, creating practical flow for daily living and entertaining.
The lower ground floor provides a cinema room and a separate space currently used as a gym, offering flexible accommodation for indoor hobbies or a home office. Outside, the property benefits from two formal gardens and off-street parking for multiple vehicles, rare for village locations. The house is one of only four grand period homes in Ashwell, occupying an elevated corner position with mature planting to the boundaries for privacy.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s solid brick walls are understood to have no added insulation (typical of pre-1900 construction), and there is a single family bathroom serving four double bedrooms. Broadband and mobile signal are average locally, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are practical considerations for families seeking long-term running costs and connectivity.
Overall, this is a substantial family home that delivers period character, flexible living spaces and generous gardens in a highly desirable Hertfordshire village. It will particularly suit buyers who appreciate original features and who may wish to carry out sympathetic upgrades (insulation, additional bathroom) to customise the home to contemporary standards.
