Horton Road — Horton Road

An impressive five bedroom period house arranged over three floors, occupying a generous elevated plot of about 0.5 acres., with open views across surrounding countryside. The property has undergone extensive renovation in recent years, retaining many of the original features, resulting in a stylish family home that combines the proportions of its period origins with the comforts and standards expected of modern living. A generous entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction leading through to a series of well proportioned reception rooms. To the front, a family sitting room enjoys excellent natural light and impressive views of Ivinghoe Beacon and the Ashridge Estate, while to the rear the formal dining room opens via double doors onto the garden, perfect for summer entertaining. The shaker style kitchen is positioned to the rear of the house with useful utility room, providing practical service accommodation for everyday living. To the front is one further reception room currently used as snug sitting room with wood burner. The first floor offers three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite facilities, together with a family bathroom. The second floor is equally impressive, providing two further double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms, ideal for guests. The grounds extend to approximately 0.5 acres, offering privacy and excellent countryside views. To the rear of the plot is a separate stable block, presenting excellent potential for conversion into a home office, studio or annexe subject to planning consent. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and backs onto farmland, with a small orchard at the rear featuring a variety of fruit trees. A driveway leads to a detached garage, currently arranged as a golf simulator, is complemented by a room above, presently used as a home gym. This versatile space would equally lend itself to a home office or studio, providing an ideal solution for those seeking a separate work from home space. The electric gates provide access to parking behind the garage and outbuildings. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country house with exciting future potential in a highly desirable semi-rural setting. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
