The Property:

A striking three double bedroom detached Georgian home offering extensive living accommodation with many original character features and wonderful gardens, located in the heart of this popular village.

Description:

A superb detached period home which was originally constructed in 1815 as an Inn. It was converted to a private residence in 1913. This gives the home its current name of 'The Old Sugar Loaf Inn'. In recent years the house has benefited from a side extension and, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the property could easily be further extended. Character features abound throughout the property from the stained glass front door, wood panelling, high ceilings and working fireplaces. Downstairs an impressive main reception room runs front to back with the focal point centred around the bar area. French doors lead to the rear garden and steps lead down to the cellar. An additional lounge sits to the front of the house, again with open fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with room for a breakfast table and chairs. A separate utility room and shower room complete the downstairs space. Upstairs there are three generous double bedrooms (all with cast iron fireplaces). These are served by an elegant bathroom with a large, Victorian-style roll top bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside, off street parking for 2 cars is to the side of the property. The south-facing rear garden is another fantastic feature, measuring 55ft in length. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a seating area. A timber-built home office is found to the rear with power and light. There is also a substantial shed.

Council Tax Band F - £3,034.24 (2022/23)

Location:

The property is located in Common Road in the popular village of Kensworth which benefits from a local school, pub and shops. More extensive shopping and leisure facilities are within easy reach in both Harpenden and Dunstable along with mainline rail services from Harpenden and Luton Airport Parkway into London St Pancras with Berkhamsted (serving London Euston) also easily accessed. Junction 9 of the M1 is a short drive away.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
