Description
Driving through the electric wooden gates you are quickly warmed by the idyllic surroundings driving along the tree lined road leading up to Howletts Farm, giving a real feel of calmness, beauty and charm. It's very clear to see this is a rare gem of a home and has so much to offer for any style of living.
Walking into the main house there is the real 'WOW' factor with the stunning entrance hallway and dual height staircase. Throughout the home is an extremely well thought out design offering casual and formal living. The kitchen family room provides a fantastic space for entertaining and casual dining while the dining room is perfect for those formal evenings with many family and friends! Further more there is the orangery, currently utilised for home exercise classes, a sitting room, an office, large boot / utility room and a WC. Upstairs there are four very generous bedrooms, all of which offer en-suite facilities.
In addition to this exquisite residence are two further properties - The Cottage, a delightful two bedroom detached house and Honey House, a three bedroom detached property with planning permission in place for development - Combining an approx square footage of 2800. This fits wonderfully for someone looking for multi generational living, business ventures for possible holiday lets or simply some personal hobbies.
The two barns offer multi choice of use and provide extensive storage or the ideal setting for collectors or those seeking a semi-commercial or light industrial use.
Barkway is an attractive village in North Hertfordshire, with many period homes set along charming village lanes. The village has a strong sense of community and offers excellent local amenities such as the primary school with nursery provision and a playgroup held in the village hall, a good sized playground and football pitches with a recently built community space making it particularly appealing to families.
Barkway is set in a rural yet very well connected area with the nearby towns of Royston (approximately 4.2 miles) and Buntingford (around 5.7 miles) providing a good range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities, while the larger market town of Bishop's Stortford and Cambridge, between 16-18 miles away, offers more extensive amenities. Royston mainline railway station provides regular services to London King's Cross, with additional rail connections to London Liverpool Street available from Audley End, Bishop's Stortford and Ware. For road users, the A10 lies approximately 2 miles to the west, offering convenient links to the City and the M25 London Orbital Motorway and the A505 approximately 4 miles to the north connects west to the A1 and east to the M11.
