Property Description

Idyllic character home...What did your dream family home look like when you were growing up, If you're like us then it may have been just like this 17th century grade II listed rural farmhouse sitting on 4.2 acres of land that includes A beautiful stream, pastures and woods...

Valley Farm is a stunning and locally well-known character home that offers a wonderful rural setting between Kimpton and Codicote, two charming and very popular villages renowned for their friendly residents and community spirit. Set behind a knapped flint wall, Valley Farm is a beautiful period property which is believed to originate from the mid/late 1600s and has benefitted from a more recent, but sympathetic, extension. It boasts 4.2 acres of land and picture-perfect views that include the River Mimram, which borders the northern edge of the grounds, and a large paddock that may catch the eyes of those with equestrian interests. Further, the Barn and Manger may offer the opportunity for conversion to; stables, carport, garage/workshop or alternatively, plans have already been submitted for development to a two-bedroom detached dwelling/annexe (please call for further details).

Whilst the rural setting is its main draw, the proximity to popular commuter towns such as Harpenden (5.7 miles), Welwyn (5.5 miles), Hitchin (7.9 miles) and St. Albans (8.4 miles) offer pretty shopping centres and convenient commutes to the city with travelling times of under 25 minutes, whilst London Luton Airport will appeal to frequent travellers, be it for work or pleasure!

There is also an excellent choice of secondary schools in Hitchin, Harpenden and St Albans.

It's a very genuine pleasure to offer to the market this wonderful feature home that represents so many of the characteristics I personally dreamed of as a child.
