The family were looking for a spacious home, large enough for family life and with the added benefit of an annexe that would accommodate an elderly parent, whilst still being connected to the main house. The Oak House ticked all the boxes, and the owners describes the immediate welcoming atmosphere and charm the family experienced when they viewed the property. Over the years each room has been enjoyed and appreciated, with all the spaces thoughtfully suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The living room and library combine to make a favourite space and have a definite wow factor, and the owners say first time visitors always exclaim: Stunning!. This is where you can relax by the glow of the wood burner or read and work contentedly in the library area. The garden room provides a delightful link between the house and garden and is the perfect place for breakfast and a morning coffee with the garden as a pretty background and perhaps give guests a pre-dinner drink before moving through to the dining room. It is a home which can comfortably provide hospitality and the owners recall memorable parties, including an event when a marquee was installed in the garden and guests drifted happily between house and garden. Externally, the garden is a real extension of the living space.

House with garden and terrace Knebworth (United Kingdom)
This exceptional detached home has been transformed into a stylish four-bedroom family residence, thoughtfully designed for modern living. Ideally positioned in the heart of Knebworth village, the property is just a 13-minute walk from the station and High Street. Offering generous open-plan living, two reception rooms, three bathrooms and excellent flexibility, it is perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining. Step Inside Completed in 2024, the renovation has transformed the property with a high specification of modern improvements, including double-glazed windows, underfloor heating, 150mm cavity wall insulation and a new gas boiler. Heating is controlled via a Nest smart thermostat, allowing the system to be managed remotely and intelligently for greater efficiency and comfort. A wide front door opens into a generous entrance hallway, with a clear sightline through to the garden. Limestone-effect porcelain tiles run throughout the ground floor, combining practicality with a contemporary finish. To the right is a versatile reception room, currently used as a playroom and overlooking the driveway. With network cabling for television and gaming, this generous space could equally serve as a family sitting room. On the other side of the hallway, the stylish utility room is exceptionally well equipped, with light blue cabinetry, a large butler sink, washing machine and tumble dryer, overhead hanging space and extensive storage. Beyond is a dedicated plant room housing the Megaflo hot water cylinder and electrical equipment, with a drainage point also installed. The utility provides direct access to the double garage, which has a vented floor and drainage, making it possible to wash a car indoors. A 22kW EV charger is discreetly installed in the ceiling, while hot and cold water connections offer potential for a sink or shower. A whole-house water filtration system provides filtered water throughout, including drinking water. The property also has provision for the future with three-phase connection already laid beneath the driveway, offering scope for additions such as an air source heat pump. Power and network are also installed for electric gates as well as power network and water for a further car port. Back to the generous hallway and the middle reception room is a welcoming and comfortable living room / media lounge. With app-controlled LED lighting and a built-in electric fire spanning the width of the wall mounted television, there is an ambient feel to this room. The black out blinds allow for a true ‘cinema’ experience, and a wall mounted air conditioning unit keeps the room cool. In the corner you will find the ‘comms’ cupboard, hidden within panelling. This cupboard is kept cool with air vents at the top and bottom, essential for the CCTV, network and media units inside. From the hallway, double doors lead into the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, where six metre wide bi-fold doors and two roof lanterns flood the room with natural light and create a strong connection with the garden. A generous walk-in pantry provides excellent additional storage, with its own sink, second dishwasher, cabinetry and open shelving. The pantry has been deliberately designed without underfloor heating, with single insulation to the rear wall to improve air circulation — another example of the thoughtful design throughout this exceptional family home. The kitchen is centred around a substantial and highly sociable island, complete with breakfast seating, an additional fridge, network ports and an induction hob with integrated extractor. Hot, cold water and gas have also been plumbed to the island, offering the flexibility to add a sink or hob if desired. A striking marble-effect quartzite worktop runs throughout the kitchen, beautifully complementing the deep green cabinetry and brass hardware. The colour palette has been thoughtfully chosen to echo the garden beyond the impressive bi-fold doors, creating a strong sense of connection between the interior and exterior. Designed with the keen cook in mind, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, featuring three ovens, one with integrated microwave functionality as well as an additional microwave, a plumbed-in fridge freezer, dishwasher and extensive storage. A substantial 1,200mm American-style stainless steel sink forms the practical heart of the kitchen, complete with integrated accessories, including chopping boards and drainers. Above it, a bespoke colour matched Quooker flex boiling-water tap, and waste disposal unit add further convenience. Two impressive roof lanterns flood the space with natural light, while surrounding LED lighting, controllable via an app, allows the atmosphere to be transformed effortlessly for entertaining. An exposed brick wall provides a characterful backdrop to the dining area, where a bespoke banquette seat and generous dining table span the length of the room, creating an inviting setting for everything from relaxed family meals to larger gatherings. A cosy TV snug is cleverly positioned to one side, creating a more intimate zone within the open-plan layout while retaining the sense of space and connection. Perhaps one of the home's most unexpected features is the concealed home office, cleverly hidden behind a bookcase. This imaginative use of space provides a fully equipped workspace without compromising the principal living areas. A Velux window floods the room with natural light, complemented by blackout blinds, feature spot lighting, underfloor heating, storage cupboards and a generous standing desk. Walls finished with timber pallets reclaimed during the renovation add texture and character, making this a truly individual and highly practical addition to the home. The staircase rises to a generous first-floor landing, where a useful linen cupboard provides excellent additional storage. Above, a striking oversized skylight, enhanced by integrated LED lighting, floods the space with natural light by day and creates a warm, ambient atmosphere after dark. The roof was raised by six courses of brick during the renovation, creating exceptional ceiling heights throughout the first floor and giving the bedrooms a wonderful sense of volume and space. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from underfloor heating beneath the carpeting. The first bedroom, currently arranged as a guest suite, comfortably accommodates a super king-size bed and benefits from an en suite wet room and dedicated clothes hanging space. The second bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, features a built-in double wardrobe and shares access to a stylish Jack-and-Jill wet room with the third bedroom. Finished with striking teal tiles, the bathroom incorporates a bath with overhead shower, waterfall shower and flexible handheld shower, together with integrated toothbrush charging points. The third bedroom overlooks the garden and makes excellent use of the available roof space, with additional storage cleverly incorporated above the built-in wardrobe. The principal bedroom is an impressive and tranquil retreat, generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Air conditioning, blackout blinds and discreet LED lighting create a calm and relaxing atmosphere, while a dedicated vanity area, large walk-in wardrobe and additional storage provide excellent practicality. The luxurious en suite is particularly impressive, featuring a freestanding bath, separate double waterfall shower, twin basins and a heated mirror. The shower extractor is cleverly controlled by both a timer and motion sensor, operating during the day but remaining off at night to avoid disturbing you. Carefully positioned low-level LED lighting provides a soft glow after dark, adding both ambience and practicality to this beautifully appointed space. Step Outside The garden at No.14 enjoys a seamless connection with the house, with the same porcelain tiles extending from the kitchen onto the wide patio to create a cohesive indoor-outdoor feel. Despite its generous proportions, the garden feels remarkably private and secluded, with established planting, mature trees and hedging providing a sense of tranquillity. The garden has been thoughtfully designed as two distinct spaces. Immediately outside the kitchen, the substantial patio spans the width of the house and has been equipped with hot and cold water and a gas connection, providing excellent scope for an outdoor kitchen or entertaining area. Steps lead to a raised decked terrace, currently home to the hot tub. Hot and cold water and a further gas connection have been provided here, allowing for the addition of a heater or gas fire pit. Beyond is a manageable lawn and a sunken pathway leading into 'The Dell' — a wonderfully atmospheric area of established plants, shrubs and trees, framed by an attractive old brick wall. This secluded corner has a distinctly timeless, almost storybook quality. The garden then opens into a more productive and practical area, with a greenhouse benefiting from power and water, together with raised beds for keen gardeners. A purpose-built rabbit or chicken enclosure and run, with fox proof wire and concrete base beneath. A central storage shed, also on a concrete base, sits alongside a composting area and established fruit trees. From this part of the garden, the views are particularly impressive, extending across open farmland and providing a wonderful reminder of the property's countryside setting. A garden gate provides access along the side of the house to the front driveway, which is enclosed by established hedging and mature trees. There is parking for up to five cars, with electric roller doors providing access to the double garage, offering space for two further vehicles. Thoughtful exterior details continue throughout. LED lighting is integrated around the fascias and gables of the house and can be controlled via an app, programmed on a timer and customised to create different colour themes. The driveway is also equipped with power, water and network cabling, making the installation of an external EV charging point straightforward. Overall, No.14 Oakfields Avenue perfectly combines exceptional modern specification and convenience with a genuine connection to its countryside setting. The beautifully designed outside space reflects the thoughtful approach taken throughout the renovation, offering privacy, versatility and plenty of scope for future owners to make the most of this unique and highly considered family home. Location Knebworth is a sought-after village with a strong sense of community and an excellent location for both countryside living and commuting. Best known for the impressive Knebworth House, which has hosted some of the world's most renowned rock concerts over the decades, the village combines historic character with excellent modern connectivity. Knebworth railway station provides direct services into London, reaching Finsbury Park in approximately 18 minutes and London King’s Cross in around 25 minutes. Road connections are equally convenient, with the A1(M) approximately two miles away for northbound travel, while the southbound carriageway can be accessed via Welwyn, around six miles from the village.

House with garden and terrace Bishop's Stortford (United Kingdom)
SELLERS INSIGHT Twenty-Two Wonderful Years at Ivory Some houses impress you on the day you first see them. The very best continue to reward you every single day thereafter. When we first drove through the gates of Ivory more than twenty-two years ago, we had an unmistakable feeling that we had arrived somewhere rather special. At the time we were returning to the UK after several years living and working in Brussels, looking for somewhere to put down roots for the next chapter of our lives. Like many families making an international move, our priority was finding not simply a beautiful house, but a community that offered an exceptional quality of life, outstanding educational opportunities and somewhere we could truly call home. Bishop's Stortford immediately stood out, and Ivory gave us everything we had hoped forand so much more. Looking back today, it is difficult to imagine another home that could have been better suited to our family. Over the years, Ivory adapted effortlessly to every stage of our lives. It naturally became a place where friends gathered. The generous gardens, tennis court and games room were always full of life, while the abundance of space meant everyone could enjoy their own independence, with plenty of adult-free corners to call their own. Looking back, some of our happiest memories are simply of hearing laughter coming from different parts of the house and knowing that everyone felt so at home here. Beyond the house itself, the location proved every bit as rewarding. Having worked across Europe and travelled extensively, it was always reassuring to return home to such peaceful surroundings. Yet despite its wonderfully private setting, we were never isolated. Straightforward rail connections from Bishop's Stortford into London's Liverpool Street made commuting effortless when required, while spontaneous evenings in the West End, leisurely afternoons exploring Cambridge or early morning flights from Stansted were all remarkably easy to enjoy. Equally, some of our most treasured moments were much closer to homea quiet walk through Hatfield Forest or simply wandering the surrounding countryside with the dog before returning to the peace and privacy of Ivory. Looking back, it is that rare balance between accessibility and tranquillity that we came to appreciate more with each passing year. If there is one room that best captures life at Ivory, it is the kitchen. Family breakfasts before work or school, Sunday lunches, Christmas celebrations and countless conversations over coffee have all revolved around this welcoming space. One of the unexpected pleasures has been just how much the surrounding area has enriched our lives. We originally chose Bishop's Stortford because of the exceptional choice of excellent primary and secondary schools, but we soon discovered so much more. Perhaps what we have appreciated most is the balance that Ivory offers. People often ask what we shall miss most. The truthful answer is that it is impossible to choose just one thing. We will miss opening the gates and knowing we are home. We will miss morning coffee overlooking the gardens, summer evenings on the terrace, the changing colours of the seasons and the simple pleasure of living somewhere that has always felt peaceful, welcoming and exceptionally well connected. Looking back over the past twenty-two years, we realise that Ivory has given us something that is becoming increasingly difficult to finda genuine sense of balance. It has been a place where family life, friendships, fulfilling careers and quiet moments have all found their place. We can think of no finer legacy for a home than that. As we prepare to begin an exciting new chapter in Edinburgh, we leave with enormous gratitude for everything Ivory has given us over the past twenty-two years. Our hope is that its next owners will come to love it every bit as much as we have and create memories of their own that will last a lifetime.
