This charming and sympathetically extended former gatehouse is
one of a pair of Grade II listed Lodges at the North West entrance
to Henlow Park.
The original Lodge was a square plan two storey building and was
later extended to provide a good sized living accommodation that
now comprises a kitchen/dining room that has recently been refitted
to a high standard, snug with feature brick built fireplace and log
burner, inner hallway, lounge with french doors to the split level
garden/playroom, utility room and shower room to the ground floor.
There is a cellar to the lower ground floor (ideal as a playroom,
home office, hobby room or gym) accessed via a staircase from the
snug. The first floor accommodation is accessed via two separate
staircases, the first in the original building leading up to two
double bedrooms and the second in the new building leading up to
the master bedroom, a further bedroom and family bathroom. The new
and old part of this glorious home are linked at first floor level
by a landing with a glazed roof that provides an abundance of
light. Externally are mature gardens to the front, side and rear, a
double width garage with a fully boarded area above and off road
parking for several vehicles. Having retained many original
features this superb family home oozes charm and really must be

LOCATION AND AMENITIES:
Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, Henlow offers all the
advantages of life in a small and charming village and yet, thanks
to the area-s superb transport connections, also ensures that the
bright lights of London are within easy reach.
The name Henlow is believed to derive from the old English -henna
hlaw-, -hill frequented by wild birds‘ and was mentioned in the
Domesday survey of 1086, when the village came under the possession
of 3 separate manors: Henlow Warden, Henlow Llanthony and Henlow De
Grey. This accounts for the abundance of Manor Farms in the
village. There was a moated manor house on the -island‘ of land
which runs about 40 yards to the North of the High Street behind
the War memorial along to the rear of Manor Farm at 87 High Street,
which formed part of the De Grey manorial system. Henlow Grange,
the earliest parts of which date from 1680, was built on land that
formed the heart of the Henlow Llanthony estates. Henlow Grange is
now home to Champneys Health Spa.
The Parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. The church is
in a beautiful setting on a rise above the Pit with the village
pump in the foreground and a horse trough built to commemorate
Queen Victoria‘s Diamond Jubilee. The current church building has a
tower and North aisle constructed of clunch and the remainder is of
ironstone. The North arcade dates to the 13th century, the Eastern
bays are early 14th century and the entire is mainly in the
perpendicular style, although the later Victorian Chapel
incorporates a Norman window from the original aisle-less church.
The church has Registers dating from 1558. Although the tower now
contains a ring of 8 bells, enhanced from 6 in the 1980‘s, prior to
1925 there was a ring of 5 bells, wherein the origin of the name of
the local Public House.
The educational needs of children of all ages are also well catered
for by a number of excellent schools in the vicinity.
Located just minutes away from Junction 10 of the A1(M) and the
national motorway network beyond, Henlow is equally well-served by
a local bus network, whilst London-s Kings Cross station can be
reached from the neighbouring village of Arlesey in a little under
40 minutes.
