Property description
This fine English country village home nestles in the lovely picturesque village of Therfield in rural Hertfordshire. The home was crafted by a Master Builder and Designer for his own family and consists of a detached two storey character home of exceptionally high standard.
Therfield is situated some three miles from Royston along with Ashwell and Baldock all benefitting from mainline Rail services to London Kings Cross and Cambridge. Therfield enjoys a local school, public house, church and fabulous countryside.
The home is built with grandeur and stands proudly at the top of Pedlars Lane where surrounding homes of quality make up this friendly village community. The fully landscaped front and rear private gardens extend to some 0.41 acres STS with the whole of the grounds being fenced and walled. Electrically operated traditional iron gates with intercom give security.
