From the moment you arrive through the private gated entrance, the home impresses with its sweeping wraparound garden, elevated countryside views, and a sense of privacy and scale rarely found.

Arlesey station is just minutes away, providing fast connections to London St Pancras, and both the A1(M) and M1 are within easy reach.

Inside, the home flows beautifully.

Upstairs, four generously sized double bedrooms await, each filled with natural light. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring an en-suite, dressing room, and dual-aspect countryside views.

The grounds are equally special, a charming courtyard garden lies off the kitchen, while the rear includes a secluded vegetable patch and a fully powered home office with decking overlooking open fields. A series of substantial outbuildings including a barn, garage, utility store and

various storerooms offer potential for business use, further accommodation, or creative redevelopment (STPP).
