4 bed detached house for sale

St Martins Road, Knebworth, Hertfordshire SG3

Occupying a delightful position on a sought-after private road in the very heart of Knebworth village, this substantial detached family residence enjoys an exceptional plot extending to approximately 0.3 of an acre, incorporating additional land to the rear. Despite its central village location, St Martins Road remains a particularly peaceful setting, providing a wonderful balance of privacy, convenience and mature surroundings, yet within easy reach of the mainline railway station.

The property offers almost 2,400 sq ft of generously proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The welcoming reception hall leads to an impressive triple aspect sitting room extending over 25ft in length, with access to a bright garden room with garden views beyond. There is a separate dining room, fitted kitchen with adjoing utility room and a cloakroom. The double width garage, with its personal door from the entrance hall, lends itself well to conversion into further living space if so desired (usual regulations necessary).

On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms have built-in storage, as does the bright and spacious landing with large heated airing cupboard.

A particular feature of the property is the magnificent rear garden. Beautifully established and enjoying a high degree of seclusion, the garden extends well beyond neighbouring plots, with the additional parcel of land creating a total plot of approximately 0.3 acres. Mature trees, established hedging and well-stocked borders create distinct areas within the garden. To the rear there is a vegetable to garden with mature apple tree and lawn suitable for a play area for children.

The house is approached by a block-paved driveway that leads to the double-width garage. There are borders, well planted with mature shrubs and trees, that provide year-round interest and a good degree of privacy. Energy Rating: D
