House For Sale £750,000
The house was built in 1914 as an additional wing to the clergy house built by the Rev. Thomas Pinnock in the Georgian era. Today the West Wing is an elegant and stylish semi-rural residence that forms part of the historic estate of St Ibbs.
The Grade II property is approached via a gravel driveway through beautiful tree-lined grounds, leading to a pretty courtyard garden with a well-established ornamental pond.
The heart of the property is a magnificent 30-foot first floor living room with raised open fireplace, complimented by a balcony ideal for pre-dinner drinks, with a spiral staircase down to the garden.
The master bedroom is also on the first floor, next to the family bathroom, with bath and shower. The second floor features two further bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom and an additional balcony with a peaceful outlook over trees.
Externally, there are pretty, easy-to-maintain gardens, with beds full of shrubs and flowering plants, and a generous dedicated parking area. On the opposite side of the drive are a well-planned detached home office and good-sized workshop, which could easily be reinstated as garaging (subject to necessary consents).
The parish of St Ippolyts & Gosmore has a village store and pub, with several other gastropubs and the Farmhouse at Redcoats in close proximity. The primary school in St Ippolyts is highly regarded. Hitchin station is on the east coast mainline, 28 minutes from Kings Cross St Pancras and 33 minutes from Cambridge. The market town of Hitchin is walking distance and, with its lively mix of independent shops, schools, pubs, restaurants and leisure and arts facilities, regularly features in lists of the top 10 places to live in Britain.
