4 bedroom detached house for sale

A unique and substantial Grade II listed 17th-century Tudor gatehouse, originally part of the Henlow Grange estate, offering over 2,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, a private wraparound garden and planning permission to extend. Situated within a conservation area in the heart of Henlow village, this exceptional home blends historic character with modern comfort and future potential. The property provides four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged over multiple levels and two contemporary bathrooms, including a newly completed bathroom in 2024 with rain shower and PR system. The house has been recently redecorated throughout and benefits from new carpets, upgraded electrics and a brand new boiler installed in 2022.

The kitchen is well-equipped and complemented by a separate utility room. Character-filled reception rooms feature exposed beams and working fireplaces, with log burners in three rooms creating warm and inviting living spaces. The flexible layout is ideal for multi-generational living, older children seeking independence, or a live/work lifestyle.

A particularly rare feature is the versatile basement level with power, heating and natural light, suitable for use as a home office, snug, playroom, gym or hobby space. Planning permission has been granted and activated for a two-storey rear extension and internal reconfiguration, allowing the next owner to enhance the property without the uncertainty of the planning process. Externally, the beautifully maintained wraparound garden offers exceptional privacy with no risk of overlooking.

Henlow is a popular village with a local pub, shop and well-regarded schools nearby. Arlesey mainline station is a short drive away, providing direct services to London King’s Cross in under 40 minutes.
