This detached four-bedroom home offers significant renovation and investment potential in a desirable location on the outskirts of Knebworth village. While it is conveniently close to the High Street and mainline railway station, the property is set within approximately one-third of an acre of mature gardens, providing a private and tranquil setting.
The house spans 1,823 square feet (169.4 square meters) and features a central entrance hall that leads to various reception areas, including a double aspect lounge with a fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden. The dining room also boasts a fireplace, while the kitchen/breakfast room offers ample space for culinary activities. A family room or home office with an additional fireplace (currently not in use), along with practical spaces like a cloakroom, pantry, and storeroom, complete the ground floor layout. Much of the original parquet flooring still remains intact across these areas, enhancing the home's character.
Upstairs, you will find four generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Although well-maintained by the current owner for several decades, there exists tremendous scope for modernization and expansion, subject to planning permission and building regulations.
The grounds are characterized by mature boundaries adorned with various trees, shrubs, and hedges. A driveway accessed through a five-bar gate provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached garage.
Knebworth offers a vibrant atmosphere with essential amenities on its bustling High Street, including shops for daily necessities such as a chemist, post office, doctors’ surgery, dental services, convenience store, restaurants, cafes, and schools. The local community is further enriched by recreational facilities including golf clubs and sports courts.
Transportation links are convenient; Stansted Airport is 28 miles away while Luton Airport is only 13 miles distant. Nearby towns include Welwyn Garden City at 6 miles and Hertford at 8.5 miles. The area is also part of ongoing proposed developments outlined in the current local plan—additional details can be found on the North Herts District Council website.
In summary, this property presents an excellent opportunity not only as a family home but also as an investment project in an area poised for growth.
