Representing a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial property in this premier Knebworth location within easy reach of the mainline railway station, this impressive 4-bedroom family home requires refurbishment throughout and is set within stunning gardens of approximately 0.35 of an Acre.

To the first floor a bright landing leads to the family bathroom and all 4 double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with balcony, and bedroom 2 with roof terrace, both overlooking the very beautiful grounds. With mature boundaries, the glorious plot has been planted with love and care to provide year-round colour and form, and it includes fine specimen trees, sweeping lawns, borders and established shrubs. There is a generous patio to the rear where two large glasshouses are situated, a shady terrace with wisteria covered pergola, and a summer house.
