Lane and Bennetts are delighted to offer this fabulous four bedroom detached and extended family home, sitting upon South facing landscaped grounds of a third of an acre plot.

A fine example of early garden city property built in 1911 and influenced by renowned architects Parker and Unwin, it is well located within walking distance of a much sought after school, and close to the town, station and 100 acre Norton Common. This beautiful property offers the perfect blend of character with modern style and convenience.

The current vendors have impeccably maintained and elegantly present the property to offer spacious flowing accommodation approaching 2250 ft.²*. The private plot has a large gravel driveway providing off road parking for up to 6 vehicles. A rose lined footpath and low maintenance ‘prairie style’ front garden welcome you to the property.

The entrance porch has period tiling and leads to a wide reception hall. The stunning sitting room is over 25ft in length and has a feature fireplace with dual fuel burning stove and French doors leading to the magnificent rear garden. You’ll find another fine fireplace in the family room which enjoys views to the garden at the front.

The heartbeat of the house is the sizeable and Open Plan kitchen and dining area, with fine views over the landscaped rear garden, and French doors leading to the attractive side courtyard. For convenience there is a large utility and ground floor cloakroom.

The main bedroom has dual aspect views and a full-size en suite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms retain original features such as fireplaces and picture rails. The main bathroom which has recently been upgraded to a very high specification, has a superb double with shower and stylish sink and vanity unit.

There is ample opportunity given the size of the plot to further extend the property either to the rear or upwards into the loft subject naturally to planning.

This charming house‘s noteworthy feature is of course the amazing mature and fully landscaped rear garden. Year around planting specimen trees and herbaceous borders combined to make this a year round joy. Tucked into the left-hand quarter for example, is a delightful small patio with planting which enjoys the setting sun and perfect for the evening G and T.

The expansive main patio offers a great opportunity for those lovely alfresco dining days and nights. Dual side entrances to the driveway and garage and the pretty courtyard leading to the front garden for easy access and convenience.

The detached double garage with pitched and tiled roof offers a superb workshop area at the rear and has full light and power. Behind it sits a hard base space on which to position a sizeable garden office affording privacy and peace for those now needing to work at home rather than commute or travel, STP.

Overall we feel that this rarely available Freehold property offers the combination of the stylish period home on an unusually large and beautiful landscape plot close to open countryside but with access to all amenities and good transport links. This is a property that must be viewed to fully appreciate the finer points and quality within.

We recommend contacting us at the first opportunity to arrange your personal viewing appointment which we will accompany with pleasure, and avoid missing out securing this superb family home...

The town offers a variety of High Street stores, independent shops, restaurants and public houses together with a wide range of attractions including museums, art galleries, a four screen cinema & theatre, swimming pool, golf, tennis and leisure facilities, parks and gardens, and green open spaces literally on your doorstep, yet only 29 minutes from Kings Cross/St Pancras and just 20 minutes to Cambridge, whilst the A1(M) is a few minutes drive, and London Luton Airport 25 minutes away. The town is blessed with many highly regarded and sought after schools, including St. Nicholas C of E primary school within walking distance, and the private schools of St. Christophers and St.Francis school for girls are five minutes drive.
