Town Lane, Benington, Hertfordshire, SG2

Having been lovingly and extensively improved and refurbished by the current owners, this 1930's "Old Police House" provides beautifully appointed and characterful accommodation. Set in an enviable village location with far reaching countryside views to both the front and rear, this unique home is set back on its plot, providing excellent privacy and a deep driveway with detached garage.

The immaculately presented accommodation has been carefully altered to provide well-proportioned and bright living space that includes entrance hall with staircase to the first floor, WC, wonderful kitchen with adjacent utility/ boot room, dining room with French doors to the rear garden, sitting room/ library with book shelving and glazed pocket doors to the elegant double aspect lounge with stone fireplace. On the first floor the landing leads to all 4 bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom suite has a double aspect with beautiful views, dressing area and en-suite shower room.

Externally, the smart white-painted weatherboard cladding and elegant windows enhance the character look of this attractive home. The gravel driveway leads to the detached single garage and parking area. There is mature hedging to provide privacy, and pretty flower beds that have been artfully planted. To the rear, the garden provides a patio area, arbour for seating, a lawn with pathways, and a timber outbuilding with potential for use as a home office, den or summer house. Again, mature hedging provides excellent privacy, and thoughtful planting provides year-round interest. The rear garden backs directly onto a meadow with a footpath that provides access to an abundance of countryside walks directly from the door.
