Detached four bedroom character property in a secluded semi-rural location.

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a very special and unique detached character residence situated in a secluded semi-rural location. The exceptionally designed interior offers versatility with two reception rooms, a bespoke handmade kitchen and glass room linking to the master bedroom, bathroom and utility space on the ground floor.
With separate gated pedestrian and vehicle entrances, the property is approached via an entrance porch and hall which leads through into the main reception room.
With a feature brick fireplace with inset stove, exposed beams and triple aspect windows to the front, side and double doors to the rear, the family room provides designated seating and dining areas and access through into the kitchen.
Fitted with a bespoke range of hand-built units, the kitchen includes a number of appliances, a feature double sink and an attractive outlook and stable door onto the rear garden.
A glass room links the master bedroom with the main house which features a full height vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and glazed double doors onto the garden along with a separate four piece bathroom and useful utility space.
There is also a further cosy sitting room on the ground floor which has a front aspect window and brick built open fireplace.

On the first floor, there is a family bathroom and three double bedrooms; one of which has an en-suite shower room and exposed brick fireplace.

Outside, a gravelled area provides parking to the front with further gated space for several vehicles to the rear in front of the barn.
The secluded garden to the rear is mainly laid to lawn with established mature shrubs and trees to the boundaries and a wide paved seating area adjacent to the property.
The oak framed barn, which was constructed during 2018, has double doors to the front and glazed bi-folding doors to the side opening onto the garden.
Benefiting from a raised mezzanine sleeping level it is heated, lit and plumbed for a shower room. The owners currently use this a home office, studio and entertaining space but could be utilised as an annex and linked to the main property if the relevant permissions were put in place.

If additional accommodation is required, the owners have had plans drawn up for some re-configuration and further enhancement to the first floor - plans available upon request from our Harpenden office.
