Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a detached property with considerable development potential in this premier Knebworth location, on the outskirts of the village but still within easy reach of the High Street and mainline railway station, this characterful 4-bedroom, 3-reception room family home is set within gorgeous gardens of approximately 1/3 of an acre.

With mature boundaries, the glorious plot has been planted with numerous trees, shrubs and hedges.
