The Property
The Old Granary is a recently refurbished detached character residence with stylishly appointed and immaculately presented accommodation arranged over two light and spacious floors. The ground floor offers a great deal of flexibility with options to use some of it as either living or bedroom accommodation.
An entrance hall leads to the main living space; a spacious combined sitting/dining room with French doors to the south-facing garden at the rear, while stairs from the entrance hall rise to the principal bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, and further access from the entrance hall leads to the second bedroom. Also with French doors to the garden, and an ensuite shower room, it offers scope for use as an additional reception room if required.
Beyond the sitting/dining room is an inner hall leading to a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room with an AGA range and integrated appliances, and then beyond to the third bedroom also with an ensuite shower room.
Throughout, the house has been expertly presented; contemporary interior design, a stylishly appointed kitchen/breakfast room and elegant bath and shower rooms are combined with a well-considered palette of neutral tones enhancing the many character features that, in particular, include an impressive beamed and vaulted roof line to the main bedroom.
Outside
Access from the lane to the former farmyard, now laid to gravel, provides vehicular and pedestrian access to the front, rear, and side of The Old Granary. Shallow steps lead to the front door and a paved terrace extending along part of the front elevation leads to a secondary entrance to the house.
Gated access to a footpath leads between the house and the outbuilding/store, and then on into the garden to the rear, while further gated vehicular access just beyond, provides a farmyard parking space as well as access to further parking at the rear. The reinstatement of vehicular access directly from the lane to the rear garden is also feasible subject to any consents required.
To the rear of the house is a substantial south-facing lawned garden, with fenced and planted boundaries, a mature leafy aspect, a large, paved terrace, and access from the house via French doors from the principal reception space and bedroom 2.
Location
The Old Granary is part of Shafford Farm House, formerly part of the Childwickbury Estate, located within easy reach of St Albans, approximately 2 miles, and Harpenden, approximately 6 miles, each providing fast train links to the capital, highly regarded state and public schools, and extensive local amenities.
St Albans Abbey, Verulamium Park & Lakes and St Michaels Village, set just to the north of St Albans City centre, are close by, the Gorhambury Estate is adjacent, and the location sits in a semi-rural context.
From the Redbourn Road, a private road, leading to the Childwickbury estate, provides access to a lane leading to Shafford Farm House and a cluster of other dwellings, including The Old Granary, which can be found on the right-hand side of the lane.

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

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 31, 2022
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
