Property description & features

Bryan Bishop and Partners are thrilled to present the opportunity to acquire this exceptional 5,200+ square feet family home situated on just under an acre plot, located in the desirable village of Benington.

Fully renovated and redesigned only eight years ago, the house benefits from the use of ground source heat pumps and underfloor heating. The use of these systems is reflected in the property's impressive EPC rating of B.

Upon entering through the front door, a well-proportioned hallway welcomes you with a striking hand-made staircase and balustrade. The ground floor boasts a remarkable kitchen diner with living area, which is complemented by a spacious living room that is flooded with natural light due to its triple aspect. The ground floor further benefits from a cinema room, a good-sized study, an office, fourth bedroom, utility room, shower room, and pantry.

Ascending to the first floor reveals three generously sized bedroom suites. The principal suite features a spacious dressing room, a three-piece en-suite, and a balcony offering panoramic views of the gardens. The remaining two suites mirror each other in size, each with dressing areas, built-in wardrobes, and en-suites, all with large windows framing picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.

Entered via an electric gate, the property opens to a sizable gravel driveway with ample parking. The rear gardens, primarily laid to lawn, showcase mature trees and shrubs, along with an extensive patio perfect for entertaining or al-fresco dining.

Benington provides good amenities including two churches, a primary school and two public houses. More comprehensive facilities are available in Stevenage (5 miles west) and Hertford (9 miles south). Communications are excellent: the A1(M) is just 8.5 miles distant, whilst fast and frequent trains leave Stevenage station (5 miles west) reaching London Kings Cross in approximately 28 minutes, with an alternative service from Watton at Stone to London Moorgate via Finsbury Park in approximately 42 minutes. Luton Airport is 20 miles away and Stansted Airport is 25 miles away. There are a wide range of excellent schools in the district including preparatory schools, Benington Church of England Primary School and Walkern Primary School. Public schools include Heathmount School, St Edmunds College, St Christopher's School, Haileybury and Imperial Service College and Bishop's Stortford College. Benington is set in a very rural location and benefits from a network of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for the equestrian enthusiast.

Places of interest

    For over 45 years Bryan Bishop & Partners have remained in the forefront of selling this area's more individual property from small cottages to larger detached houses. It is their determination to restrict their portfolio to a specific market that has attracted sellers and buyers from many miles away to visit their Welwyn office, perhaps recognising that there is still a place for the more bespoke type of service. Much has changed in the world of Estate Agency, the arrival of the Internet signalled a revolution in the way people search for their dream homes. It has now become the ‘first port of call’ for the majority of buyers which is why we have invested heavily on rightmove and other well known property portals. The firm's owner, Martin Bishop, has worked in Welwyn for almost 36 years and has built up a valuable reservoir of knowledge on the local property market. He is supported by a team of enthusiastic sales and admin staff at ease with the latest technology.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 16, 2023

    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: obtained from Ofcom on April 16, 2023

    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

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on February 27, 2017 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
