Description

Located in a small hamlet just outside Harpenden, this charming detached barn conversion offers an amazing amount of outside space. It is approached through electric gates that serve the barn and two other properties and enjoys a substantial plot approaching a quarter of an acre. As a result, there is great scope to enlarge the property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, both through extending to the rear or by adding a garage or car port to the side, where there is presently a large block paved parking area.

To one side of the hallway the barn has a sitting room with vaulted ceiling and log burner. This leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room which has an integrated oven and then in turn to the utility room with door to side. On the other side of the property there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The rear garden is laid to lawn and screened at the rear by mature hedging. To one side behind the parking area there is a large pond. There is a small lawned front garden.
