Pondcroft Road, Knebworth, Hertfordshire, SG3

Set within a central Knebworth location, ideally positioned just moments from the village high street, a short walk to the mainline train station and on the doorstep of well-regarded local schooling, this impressive extended red brick semi-detached family home offers both character and contemporary living.

The current vendors have thoughtfully renovated and enhanced the property throughout, creating a home that is even more striking in person. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and finish on offer.

The ground floor accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a cosy sitting room featuring a dual-sided log burner — perfect for winter evenings and cleverly providing separation while maintaining an open feel. The true focal point of the home is the superb rear extension, where a family room seamlessly flows into an outstanding 27ft open-plan kitchen/dining space complete with a central island/breakfast bar, pantry and a window lantern flooding the room with natural light. Bi-folding doors open onto the rear garden, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A cloakroom with utility area completes the ground floor.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, a third bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The fully landscaped rear garden features a patio terrace extending directly from the house, leading to a well-maintained lawn. A detached garden room provides valuable additional space, ideal for a home office, gym or hobby room.

The property also offers scope to convert the loft, as neighbouring homes have successfully undertaken similar extensions, subject to the usual planning consents

Valuer’s Comments
I was genuinely pleasantly surprised on the day of the valuation. The home retains its original charm while successfully blending character with modern design, something that can be difficult to achieve. The dual-sided log burner is a standout feature, offering subtle division while maintaining a wonderful sense of flow from front to back. The rear extension is undoubtedly the main selling point, simply stunning and the location is perfectly suited for commuters, young families and those seeking a thriving village lifestyle.

Knebworth village provides a High Street with shops for daily needs. There is a chemist, post office, doctors' surgery, two dentists, Co-op general store, Indian restaurant, Chinese take away, two cafés, wine merchants & a well-regarded junior/mixed infant school. The mainline railway station with frequent service allows access to London Kings Cross in around 25 /35 minutes. There are five churches all linked through the Knebworth Family of Churches, a Golf club & a great recreation ground with tennis courts, bowling green and toddlers play area.
The village is well placed for access to neighbouring towns and commuter links, with the following distances for guidance only: Stanstead airport 28 miles - Luton airport 13 miles - Heathrow airport 39 miles - A1(m) 3.6 miles - Hertford 8.5 miles - St Albans 13 miles - M25 Jct23 14 miles.
