London Road, St Ippolyts, Hitchin

A discreetly located unique detached residence with two bedroom annexe currently used as additional accommodation to the main house. In addition a double garage and workshop sit within stunning gardens in approximately 0.86 acre plot. Situated just south of Hitchin, this enormous single storey dwelling offers highly versatile accommodation ideal for a multi generational family, as a wonderful home for a growing family or as a superb base for large scale entertaining. In our opinion the property is highly suitable as live/work premises with the external outbuilding/ summerhouse ideal as a home office. The landscaped gardens wrap around the house with extensive parking and carport to the front.

The property offers outstandingly spacious rooms with four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, conservatory and a large fitted kitchen. The building has a fully integrated two bedroom annexe complete with kitchen and shower room. This has the added benefit of independent access to the front and rear.
