Dating back to the early 18th century Manor Farmhouse is not listed but benefits from beautiful listed neighbouring cottages on both sides. Opposite are a pair of spectacular listed gate houses originally part of the Knebworth Estate. Manor Farm House sits very comfortably in it’s broad plot, set well back from the road.

The dining room boasts a charming bay window and connects seamlessly to the sunlit orangery. Nestled within the property, discover a cozy sitting room enhanced by a wood burner. The modern fitted kitchen, complete with an Aga and Pantry, features a second staircase leading to the principal bedroom. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room leads to a cloakroom and a convenient back door. Outside, a generously sized covered and fenced area awaits, perfectly suited for storing logs and wellies.

An abundance of morning sunshine pours through the windows, illuminating the room. Indulge in the luxury of an adjoining dressing room and bathroom. Four additional double bedrooms await, two of which boast enchanting cast iron fireplaces. The recently modernized large family bathroom showcases a shower and a resplendent roll-top free-standing Victorian bath.
A doorway from the dining room leads to an interconnected hallway, granting access to the annex. Meticulously designed for independent living, the hallway boasts its own front door. This versatile space can effortlessly serve as a multi-generational living area. Venture further into an impressive reception room adorned with a vaulted timber ceiling, a grand fireplace, and French doors opening to the garden. The annex also features a well-appointed kitchen, a shower room, and two bedrooms—one of which currently serves as an office.
