Upton End Road, Shillington, Hitchin SG5

Red House Farm is a substantial and characterful village home set within the sought-after Bedfordshire village of Shillington, offering a rare opportunity to create a truly special family home in an idyllic semi-rural setting.

With countryside walks quite literally on your doorstep, the property enjoys a peaceful position within a thriving village community. The house itself provides over 3,000 sq ft of living accommodation, complemented by an impressive range of outbuildings extending to a further 3,000 sq ft of highly versatile space. This presents exceptional potential to adapt, extend or re-imagine the property to suit a variety of lifestyles (*subject to any necessary consents). The outbuildings lend themselves to a number of *uses, whether as ancillary accommodation, entertaining or function space, or for the flexibility to run a business from home.

All of this is set within a generous, enclosed garden backing directly onto paddock land, creating a wonderful connection to the surrounding countryside. Offered with no upward chain, Red House Farm invites the next owners to truly make their mark and create a bespoke home tailored to their own vision in one of the area’s most desirable village locations.
