This distinctive detached residence, crafted by the acclaimed stonemason Charles Alderton, features stone believed to be sourced from the estate of Fineshade Abbey in Northamptonshire. This property presents a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a home that has been cherished within the same family for over four decades. The exterior showcases exquisite ornate details, including a carved doorway and gothic-style windows, setting it apart from standard properties in the area.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a central hall leading to an expansive double-aspect living room adorned with a beautiful marble fireplace, likely reclaimed from Aldwickbury Manor. The rear-facing doors grant views of the charming garden space.
The morning room provides access to a fitted kitchen, also overlooking the gardens. Upstairs, you will find four generously sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom, while the second floor boasts a principal suite complete with a dressing area and spacious ensuite.
Externally, the home is discreetly positioned away from the road with an inviting front garden featuring mature shrubs and trees. The block-paved driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to a double garage. The rear garden is quite impressive, covering approximately 0.25 acres with established fruit trees and vibrant borders surrounding a sizable lawn area. Additionally, there’s a substantial timber summer house that can serve various purposes.
Offering significant potential for expansion and modernization—subject to necessary permissions—this property is well-positioned in central Harpenden and is conveniently located near top-rated schools and transport links to London and beyond.
