The modern fitted kitchen, with an Aga and pantry, has a second staircase to the principal bedroom. The utility room leads to the cloakroom and the back door. Outside there is a large covered and fenced area ideal for storing logs and wellies. A door from the dining room leads to the interconnecting hallway then through to the annex. Designed to be easily used for separate independent living, the hallway also has its own front door. The hallway leads into an impressive reception room with vaulted timber ceiling, large brick fireplace and doors to a private terrace and garden - it's currently set up as a fantastic games room. Boasting oak ledge and brace internal doors, there is a kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a home office. Upstairs, the spacious and impressive landing has striking exposed ancient structural timbers. The principal bedroom has a beautiful cast iron fireplace, floor to ceiling sash windows which frame the breath-taking views of the rear garden and countryside beyond, as well as allowing morning sunshine to flood in. The principal bedroom has an adjoining dressing room fitted with splendid oak ledge and brace internal doors and a well-appointed bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms, two of which have cast iron fireplaces, and a recently modernised large family bathroom with a shower and roll-top free standing Victorian bath. Step outside Outside, the property is set well back from the road on a plot of approximately 1.3 acres and boasts a sweeping carriage gravel driveway with two white five bar gates to the front. The driveway provides ample parking and a detached double garage with EV charging point.
There is a natural screening by way of a mature, curved laurel hedge and trees with clipped box hedging and planted beds providing colour and interest for much of the year. The rear garden enjoys a lovely south easterly aspect and features several sun terraces which provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining.
The rear garden has spectacular unspoilt views of arable farmland and woodland beyond. The garden has been creatively landscaped and is a particularly notable feature with an abundance of well stocked flower beds, a manicured lawn, rose arbour, a pond and an all-weather tennis court. Fresh vegetables are grown in the fenced raised garden. Location Manor Farmhouse is situated in a secluded position in the peaceful village of Old Knebworth, a traditional and sought-after rural village with a public house, church and cricket pitch. Other village facilities are located only a short drive away in Knebworth including a post office, doctors surgery and a sought-after primary school. Knebworth house is nearby together with Knebworth Golf Club. Although in a village location, its extremely convenient with Knebworth mainline station (London's Kings Cross from 25 minutes) just 1.4 miles away, Hitchin 5.7 miles, Stevenage 4.5 miles (Marks and Spencer), Welwyn Garden City 6.3 miles (John Lewis) and Harpenden is 10.1 miles. Other information The current owners have commissioned an architect to prepare and produce plans for the addition of a further en-suite upstairs and to create a fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room with central island and two sets of French doors leading into the rear garden. A copy of these plans and CAD video walkthroughs are available for interested parties.
If further accommodation is required, there is scope for developing into the attic space above the double garage and annex (subject to the relevant permissions).
We have also been advised that if the annex were to be let out on short term basis, it would generate in excess of £200 per night.
There is also a public footpath that runs adjacent to the tennis court within the edge of the boundary of the property. Mains Electricity Mains drainage Oil fired central heating North Herts Council
