Holburn Farmhouse is set along a minor country lane about three quarters of a mile from the picturesque north east Hertfordshire village of Therfield, which has a pretty green many notable houses and a well-established public house and restaurant. The A10 is about 2.5 miles away and the larger town of Royston is about 3 miles away and has a mainline station with services to Kings Cross.
The barn and the house are Grade II Listed, considered to be of architectural and historical merit, both appear to date from the late 17th century. The house is predominantly timber framed with a rendered finish under a peg tiled roof, but there have been later extensions with utility areas linking the building to the barn, which in turn leads to a garage block. This is a building of considerable character, with oak flooring, exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces with wood burning stoves. Two staircases serve five or six first floor bedrooms.
Outside, a large gravel driveway leads to the garage block, the barn adjoining the house houses the meters, heating system, water softener and hot water cylinder. A fine block of traditional outbuildings include a weather boarded barn, an open bay barn, stables and a tack toom. There is a delightful garden with a terrace and well established trees. In total the grounds amount to about 2.5 acres, but further land may be available be separate negotiation.
