We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
** offered for sale chain free ** An exceptional, detached family residence extending to over 4,000 sq ft, set within a prestigious and highly sought-after tree-lined avenue in the heart of Knebworth.
This beautifully reimagined and extended home offers expansive, contemporary living space, generous proportions throughout, and a superb balance of open-plan and private accommodation.
Summary • Approx.
4,045 sq ft (375.8 sq m) of accommodation • Prime Knebworth village location • Stunning open-plan kitchen / dining / family space • Four or Five double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms • Principal suite with dressing room and en suite • Multiple reception areas including cinema room and family room • Integral double garage and extensive driveway • Landscaped rear garden backing onto fields The Property This is a home of impressive scale, evident from the moment you step into the generous central entrance hall.
The hall leads to a superb 11m kitchen / dining / family space, which is very much the heart of the home.
It’s an excellent entertaining room - wide, bright, and flowing directly onto the garden via large glazed doors.
The kitchen itself is high-spec, centred around a large island, with excellent storage and workspace, and complemented by a generous separate pantry and laundry rooms.
What works particularly well here is the flexibility.
Alongside the main living space, you have: • a dedicated cinema room • a further family / sitting room / bedroom 5 • a home office positioned behind a secret door and away from the main hub • practical additions including a laundry room and a pantry, storage and cloakroom The house has clearly been designed with much thought and love, to create a wonderful and welcoming family home.
Upstairs is equally well thought through, arranged around a bright, vaulted central landing.
The principal bedroom suite is a standout - a large double bedroom with its own dressing room and en-suite with bath and dual walk-in shower, all combining to provide a luxury “main suite” feel.
There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor, one with its own en-suite, and a well-appointed "Jack and Jill" family bathroom serving the other two bedrooms.
The proportions throughout are generous and consistent - no compromised bedrooms here.
Outside To the front, the property is set back behind a wide gravel driveway, providing ample parking space, and leading to an integral double garage.
The rear garden offers a good degree of privacy and backs onto fields, giving a feeling of space. There’s a large terrace adjacent to the main living space, again making it ideal for entertaining.
Location Oakfields Avenue is widely regarded as one of Knebworth’s more desirable residential addresses - quiet, established, and within easy reach of the village centre.
