Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Hitchin, SG4 :
LOCATION The property is situated in the small semi-rural hamlet of Langley and is located at the junction of London Road (B656) and Langley Lane. The village of Codicote lies approximately three miles to the south and neighbouring settlements include Hitchin and Knebworth both of which are within five miles and offer access to rail services.
DESCRIPTION The property consists of a roughly triangular site and is estimated (by reference to digital mapping only) to extend to about 4.20 hectares (10.3 acres). The site includes a substantial detached former farmhouse as well as an adjacent complex of period farm buildings (some of which are Grade II Listed) with these buildings sited to the southern edge of the property and located around a surfaced yard accessed from Langley Lane.
The remainder of the site is laid out either as gardens, associated with the house, or as amenity/ agricultural grazing land.
The main house is felt to be in need of modernisation and refurbishment and should, in our opinion, be of interest to potential owner-occupiers and developers alike.
