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 Shenley (United Kingdom)
Wood Hall Estate extends across approximately 407 acres on the edge of Radlett, forming a rare private holding within the M25. Comprising a principal listed house, a wide collection of cottages and ancillary buildings, and extensive land with established infrastructure, it is an estate of a scale seldom found so close to central London. At its centre, the main house is balanced and well proportioned, thoughtfully designed to accommodate both day-to-day living and larger-scale entertaining. Reception rooms are generous in scale, with tall sash windows that draw in natural light and frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding land. Period detailing has been retained, including fireplaces and panelled elements, sitting within a more relaxed country-house setting. The principal house provides five bedrooms, with further accommodation arranged across a series of cottages and ancillary dwellings. These include a mix of two- and three-bedroom cottages alongside additional staff accommodation, offering a high degree of flexibility for multi-generational living, staff accommodation, or income-generating use. The kitchen and informal rooms are positioned to the rear with a closer relationship to the gardens, while an indoor swimming pool sits alongside the main house as a more private, self-contained element. Beyond the main house, the estate broadens considerably. A clock tower forms a focal point among a group of converted and newly created buildings, alongside an estate office that lends itself to residential, leisure or operational use, creating a setting that balances structure with openness. A number of farm buildings present further opportunities for alternative use or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents, with clear potential for income generation across the wider estate. The land itself is a defining feature. Extending to approximately 407 acres, it offers a level of scale and privacy that is exceptionally rare within the M25. With an acreage exceeding Regent’s Park and a long-standing equestrian heritage, the estate offers exceptional scope for reinstatement. Since the equine side of the estate has been wound down, a number of former stable and barn buildings have been repurposed and are currently let, generating a significant income stream, which could be further enhanced by an incoming purchaser. Historically, the grounds also formed part of a traditional shooting estate, with potential for this to be revived. Holdings of this scale within the M25 are exceedingly rare, presenting a compelling opportunity. Despite its seclusion, the estate is well connected. Radlett station provides direct services to St Pancras International in around 25 minutes, placing both the City and the West End within easy reach. The property lies approximately 14 miles from central London, with the M25 and M1 nearby. London Luton Airport and Elstree Aerodrome are both accessible, alongside a number of private aviation facilities.

House with pool and garden Stevenage (United Kingdom)
You approach The Old Walkern Nursery at the very top of Froghall Lane through electric gates and you are immediately greeted by an expansive landscape, with sweeping grounds of just over 6 acres and endless open skies. This beautiful, self built five-bedroom home offers an exceptional family living experience. It features three spacious reception rooms, a striking open plan kitchen-diner-lounge that overlooks a stunning decked area with a swimming pool. The impressive ground-floor master suite includes walk-in wardrobes and his and hers bathrooms. Upstairs, you'll find four well-appointed bedrooms, each with its own en suite, and all offering picturesque views of the rear garden and surrounding countryside. Additional highlights include a heated swimming pool, a four-berth garage, a large storage barn, and a charming two-bedroom annex. Step Inside Opening the front door, you find a breathtaking full-height entrance hall, flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling glass panels. At its centre stands a beautifully crafted oak staircase with a contemporary chandelier taking centre stage. At the rear of the hallway there is a ‘living flame’ gas fire bringing warmth and character to this stylish space. The combination of glass and natural wood blends modern design with timeless style. Beyond the entrance hall lies a stunning, open-plan kitchen designed with both functionality and sociability in mind. Featuring elegant cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Dimity’ and crisp white quartz stone worktops, the space centres around a generous island that incorporates a double sink, integrated dishwasher, breakfast bar seating and show stopping Tom Dixon globe pendant lights hang above. A traditional gas fuelled AGA adds charm and warmth, there are two additional electric ovens, a gas hob and a generous walk-in pantry with a second dishwasher, fridge freezer and storage shelves. Bathed in natural light, and with ‘arctic white’ engineered oak flooring throughout, this open plan space is bright and airy, enhanced by a large roof lantern positioned above the generous dining area. There is a stunning fitted glass cabinet for crockery and glassware as well as displaying photographs and ornamental treasures. Bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior to the covered decked terrace, which leads out to a swimming pool and surrounding seating area — perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the sun. Flowing naturally from the dining space is the open-plan lounge, offering uninterrupted views of the garden through a second set of bi-fold doors. This inviting living area is the ideal spot to unwind while enjoying the peaceful outlook over the pool and landscaped grounds. Just off the kitchen lies a large utility leading to the back door and offering an extensive run of built-in storage cupboards and ample worksurface. This practical area has a sink and there is space and plumbing for an extra washing machine and tumble dryer, if required; ideal for busy family living. Here, you will also find a smaller laundry room with clothes drying space, a washing machine, tumble dryer, a sink and a purpose-built dog shower area. Returning through the hallway, there is a stylish cloakroom and access to the home's generous reception rooms. Originally an office, but thoughtfully designed to offer versatility and comfort, this space has been fitted with bespoke walnut shelving, a desk and shelves that surround the TV. This large reception room now lends itself perfectly to be a TV snug or cinema room, with a remote-control projector and full-size screen and wall mounted air conditioning unit. The second reception is laid out as a more traditional lounge area, with a stunning almond coloured wood burning stove as the focal point. The room offers fitted wall to ceiling shelving and bi fold doors open to the decked area and views of the garden. The next room off the hallway is the show-stopping ground floor master suite — a truly impressive space designed for comfort and luxury. This expansive, air-conditioned room offers a dedicated seating area and a generously sized bedroom, creating a calm and private retreat within the home. A bespoke walk-through wardrobe provides ample storage, with shelving and hanging space on both sides, leading seamlessly to two beautifully appointed ‘his and hers’ en suite bathrooms — one featuring a large double shower, the other with a freestanding bath, perfect for unwinding. Windows and bi-folding doors with stylish shutters frame the view of the garden and open onto a more secluded patio area, offering direct access to the outdoor space and a peaceful spot to relax in complete privacy. All the rooms on the ground floor benefit from gas fuelled underfloor heating. Climbing the elegant oak staircase, you’ll find four spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with fitted wardrobes, their own en suite bathroom and heated via gas radiators. One of these bedrooms stands out with particularly generous built-in storage, a large, well-appointed shower room and air conditioning making it a strong contender for an alternative master suite, if an upstairs bedroom is desired. All bedrooms enjoy elevated views over the beautiful rear garden, with the surrounding countryside providing a tranquil and scenic backdrop. The annex is a superb addition to the property, providing flexible living accommodation ideal for extended family or guests. Thoughtfully designed with an open-plan layout, the kitchen and dining area has a utility/pantry cupboard and the lounge is centred around a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character. The annex includes two well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate bathroom. With its own entrance and a comfortable, self-contained layout, the annex blends privacy with connectivity to the main home — making it a truly valuable asset. Step Outside Entering the property through secure electric gates, a gravel driveway winds past the house, with block-paved parking area for 2–3 vehicles conveniently located by the back door. Continuing along the drive, you'll find a beautifully constructed oak-framed garage on the right, offering covered parking for four vehicles. Mature hedging and established trees line the route as you pass a charming two-bedroom annex and approach a substantial storage barn. This versatile outbuilding is approximately 1700 square feet, and divided into four large units, each accessed via a combination of double doors and roller shutters. Equipped with lighting, plumbing, and a kitchen area, the barn is ideal for workshops, business use, or extensive storage needs. As a point of interest, this barn was previously approved to be converted into a 4 bedroom property, although that consent has now lapsed. The gravel drive continues in a loop around a central planted roundabout, enhancing the practicality and elegance of the layout. Set within approximately six acres of landscaped grounds, the gardens are as impressive as the house itself. At the far end of the plot, a raised decked area—affectionately known as the gin terrace—offers a peaceful spot to enjoy open countryside views across neighbouring fields and back towards the main house. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find a dedicated children's play area and a chicken run tucked within a woodland copse, adding to the property's charm and family appeal. To the rear of the house, a newly laid timber deck runs the full width of the property, and leads you to the heated swimming pool. This 12m x 8m pool is heated via an air source heat pump and benefits from an electric cover. Partially covered by a wooden pergola, this outdoor entertaining space connects seamlessly to the master suite, lounge, and kitchen-diner through multiple sets of patio and bi-fold doors, creating a strong indoor-outdoor flow and tying the garden beautifully into the heart of the home. Location Old Walkern Nursery enjoys a prime position at the very top of Froghall Lane, offering privacy and tranquillity while remaining just a 10 minute walk down to Walkern’s charming High Street. This picturesque East Hertfordshire village, nestled along the River Beane, is home to a vibrant and friendly community. Local amenities include a Budgens convenience store, welcoming local pubs, a well-regarded primary school, and a variety of clubs and societies that contribute to the village's lively atmosphere. The property is ideally situated just 4.5 miles east of Stevenage town centre and less than 5 miles from the mainline railway station. Stevenage lies on the East Coast Main Line, offering high-speed services to central London — with journey times as fast as 23 minutes to London King’s Cross and 28 minutes to St Pancras International. For road commuters, Junction 8 of the A1(M) is a short 5.4-mile drive away, providing excellent connectivity to the wider motorway network.
