A traditional five bedroom detached house built in 1926 with a mature garden and double garage located within walking distance of Knebworth train station and the village amenities.

The current owner has lived at the property for over 30 years and has extended and remodelled to create a modern but characterful house. There is over 2,850 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. The entrance hall has parquet flooring, high ceilings, a cloakroom, and storage. The sitting room at the front of the house has a bay window, fitted cupboards and display shelves, panelled walls, and an Adams style fireplace with a multi fuel stove. The dining room has fitted cabinets, an open fire with a brick surround, and French doors to a side courtyard. There is also a family room and a dual aspect office with two skylights and fitted wood cabinets. The remodelled and extended kitchen breakfast room has triple aspect windows and skylight windows for plenty of natural light. Also on the ground floor is a fitted utility room. There is a rear garden, a side patio with garage access and a front drive with a double garage and parking for up to four cars.
