A unique opportunity to acquire this rarely available period home, that has never before been on the open market. Built in 1915 by local builder Gabriel Smith, Eyeworth House is a rare gem, located at the end of a secluded tree lined private road. This substantial four bedroom home came into the Underwood family in the 1940s and they have remained custodians ever since. The gardens and front rooms offer breathtaking elevated southerly views over the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire countryside.
Eyeworth House offers any new owner the potential to renovate whilst treasuring the wealth of period features which include open fireplaces, an oak staircase, oak panelling and a 15 ft cellar.
