Nestled on an approximate 1.15 acre plot and approached via a private driveway, this late 16th century timber-framed home is discreetly positioned, offering a high degree of privacy and tranquillity while remaining conveniently close to local amenities and excellent road links including the A421, M1, and A1. The main house, arranged across three expansive floors, is steeped in character and sophistication, with a wealth of traditional features that showcase its unique heritage. Four elegant reception rooms provide versatile spaces for formal entertaining, family gatherings, or quiet relaxation, each exuding charm with period detailing and original architectural elements. The six generously proportioned bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to offer flexibility for family living or guest accommodation, while the overall layout ensures a harmonious blend of comfort and grandeur. Further enhancing the property’s appeal is a detached one-bedroom annexe, Box End Cottage, which boasts its own independent access and driveway from Box End Road (ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental income). The estate also includes a double garage and a collection of versatile outbuildings, comprising of two impressive brick barns, a tin barn, and a gardener’s office, providing ample storage, workshop, or development potential (subject to the necessary consents). The property’s historical significance is matched by its practical advantages, with no upper chain to facilitate a smooth transaction. Oozing with class and sophistication, Box End House offers discerning buyers the chance to acquire a truly unique home that seamlessly blends historical grandeur with modern convenience. This is a rare invitation to secure a remarkable residence that not only delivers an exceptional lifestyle but also enables you to become the custodian of a significant chapter in local heritage. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, elegance, and potential that this outstanding property has to offer.
Buyers Notes: HMRC is a supervisory body for money laundering regulations, of which all estate agents need to be registered with. As part of this, there are multiple requirements that agents must rigorously and consistently meet to ensure they stay compliant with the regulations and protect their clients. To do this, we use an electronic identity verification service, approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This method and the process we follow to ensure compliance for your transaction come with significant time, financial and legal implications hence a cost of £20 + VAT per person is charged. We elected for the electronic verification process due to the speed, certainty, and accuracy it delivers. This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC.
