Dane End is an easily commutable rural village with great transport links to London and Cambridge. The village is well supported with post office, shop, The Boot pub, primary school and church. Nearby train links from Watton-at-Stone, or Stevenage to London, Kings Cross in 33mins.

Set in a third of an acre, this mature, garden wraps a peaceful oasis around the house, ensuring areas of sun and shade to enjoy all day long and at all times of the year. Professionally designed and packed with flowering shrubs, berries and colourful perennials, this garden is full of colour, perfume and variety throughout every season.
In summer roses, plum and lime green Smoke Bush (Cotinus Grace & Cotinus coggygria), deep blue Ceanothus, lavender and geraniums host playful birds and butterflies. Autumn gives way to berries attracting blue tits and robins, deep russet and golden foliage of Acers, Cherry (Cercis canadensis), Cotoneaster, Euonymus. Crimson, lime and rich sunset colours of Cornus and Hydrangea provide fabulous winter drama weaving up from white stemmed birch trees by the terrace to the upper woodland garden and bonfire. Sacred Bamboo (Nandina domestica) sways gracefully, providing colour, white flowers and deep red berries throughout the year. Perfuming the summer breeze with Mock Orange (Philadelphus Belle Etoile), with Daphne odora and Mahonia varieties in winter, the garden gives way in early Spring to a riot of naturalised crocus, snowdrops, Narcissus, Epimedium and English bluebells to welcome yet another summer. Towering 500-year-old Beech trees in the garden next door, walnut and ash cast delicate dappled shade in the hottest months and fiery autumn colour when green leaves turn caramel once more.
There is never a time when this easy maintenance garden is not at its best; enjoy wind-sheltered breakfast in the private south-facing front garden; a sun trap from early March, or on the
East-facing balcony in summer. Step out from the dining room and kitchen through herbs and ferns on gorgeous granite and sandstone to share relax with family and friends
on the polished sandstone terrace - pure bliss.
