Park Lane, Knebworth, Hertfordshire, SG3

Hasbro Lodge is a substantial Victorian detached residence situated in one of Knebworth's most well-renowned roads, just a stone's throw from the mainline railway station and only a short stroll from the heart of the village high street.

Having been cherished by the current owners for almost 40 years, this exceptional home has provided the backdrop to family life, raising two children and hosting countless memorable occasions. It offers generous accommodation, ideally designed for both everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale.

Extending to over 3,770 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged across three floors, this is a home that simply has to be experienced in person. Whilst the impressive floorplan tells part of the story, only an internal viewing truly conveys the exceptional sense of space, character and versatility on offer. Combining an abundance of period charm with thoughtfully integrated contemporary finishes, Hasbro Lodge is a home of considerable appeal.

The ground floor immediately creates a lasting impression. A spacious entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction, leading through to an elegant living room. Adjacent to the living room is the magnificent 26ft open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, undoubtedly the heart of the home, with bi-folding doors opening onto the rear garden and creating an effortless connection between inside and out.

Continuing through the inner hallway, there is a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, together with a study that flows seamlessly into the conservatory, enjoying a pleasant outlook across the beautifully maintained rear garden.

Further enhancing the versatility of the ground floor is an additional 17ft reception room, currently utilised as a workroom but equally suited as a family room, games room, studio or hobby room. A charming second kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and utility room complete this level. A particularly unique feature is the concealed staircase from this section of the house to the first floor, creating an ideal arrangement for buyers seeking accommodation suitable for multi-generational living or those requiring a degree of independence for extended family members.

The first floor is equally impressive, offering three generous double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from an en-suite bathroom together with an adjoining dressing room.
A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on this floor.

The second floor provides two further spacious double bedrooms, both enjoying en-suite facilities, together with access to extensive loft storage.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a detached double garage. The beautifully maintained rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established planting and mature borders creating a wonderful backdrop.
Within the garden sits a converted stable block which is currently used as a gym and games room but has potential for conversion to a self contained office.
Additional outbuildings provide excellent storage space.
