Lybury Lane, Redbourn, AL3

A charming 18th Century four bedroom detached cottage with character features throughout, positioned within a private plot on the outskirts of the highly desirable Hertfordshire village of Redbourn.

Nestled behind a secluded frontage, this charming and spacious home offers 2336 sq. ft. with a welcoming blend of character features, flexible living space, and mature, private gardens — tucked away within a private plot on the outskirts of Redbourn.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a wide and inviting entrance hall, where a striking brick feature fireplace immediately sets a warm and homely tone. To one side, a well-proportioned study, offers an ideal space to work from home, or a versatile space which could be used as a playroom or additional reception room.

Leading off the hall, two substantial reception rooms await. The family room, centred around its own character fireplace, offers a cosy space for informal living, while the larger sitting room, measuring over 23 feet in length featuring a brick surround fireplace with log burning stove, provides a wonderful setting for relaxing or entertaining. French doors open from here into the light-filled conservatory, offering panoramic views over the delightful gardens and providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

At the rear of the home lies the kitchen/breakfast room — a bright and spacious area with a comprehensive range of units and ample worktop space. Adjacent is a separate utility room with external access, adding to the home’s practicality, alongside a cloakroom located towards the end of the utility area.

Flowing naturally from the family room is the formal dining room with a serving hatch from the kitchen, perfect for hosting family gatherings or more intimate dinners, with double doors opening into the formal sitting room.

A turned staircase from the entrance hall rises to the first floor, where the landing leads to four comfortable bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a true retreat, generous in size and benefiting from a private en-suite with a feature free standing bath, whilst direct access from the sitting room up a spiral staircase rises to the master suite. Three further double bedrooms — all well-proportioned and with built in storage in bedroom two and three — are served by a large family shower room, thoughtfully designed to accommodate busy family mornings.

Outside, a driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to the attached garage, which also offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. A traditional five-bar gate opens to the rear, where the enchanting garden unfolds — mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature shrubs and trees, offering privacy, colour, and a wonderful sense of peace. The garden provides plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, children's play, or simply quiet enjoyment of the natural surroundings.

Situated on the outskirts of Redbourn along Lybury Lane, the property is a short distance from The Common and the charming village High Street, which boasts a delightful array of local amenities, including quaint shops, a Post Office, inviting coffee houses, cosy pubs and restaurants, a doctors' surgery, and a pharmacy. Families will appreciate the excellent schooling options available, as the village falls within the catchment area for outstanding schools in nearby Harpenden. For those seeking more extensive shopping facilities, the nearby market towns of Harpenden and St. Albans offer a wealth of options. Redbourn is also well-connected for commuters, with easy access to London via the M1 Junction 9, located just two miles away, and a reliable rail service from Harpenden to St. Pancras, reaching the capital in under 30 minutes. This prime location makes Redbourn ideal not only for commuters but also for those looking to explore the beautiful surrounding areas.
