Mews Cottage, Knebworth

Set within the sought-after hamlet of Old Knebworth, this remarkable detached residence offers a distinctive combination of period charm, architectural individuality and contemporary design. Extending to approximately 3,405 sq ft, the property brings together the character of the original house with an impressive oak-and-glass extension, creating a home that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.
The accommodation is exceptionally versatile, with generous reception spaces offering an appealing balance between formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. The striking kitchen and dining area forms a natural focal point of the home, while the separate lounge, dining room and additional reception room provide plenty of flexibility for family life, working from home or entertaining guests.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, complemented by an en-suite bathroom and a further well-proportioned dressing room/bedroom. Three additional bedrooms and further shower rooms provide excellent accommodation for families or those requiring additional space for guests.
The architectural design is a defining feature, with the use of oak, glass and natural light creating a wonderful contrast against the more traditional elements of the original property. This thoughtful combination of old and new gives the house a unique identity, retaining its charm and character while embracing a more contemporary style of living.
Further benefits include a utility room, dedicated boiler room, private gated access and parking, together with a generous plot offering a sense of privacy and space. The location is equally appealing, with the village of Knebworth, its mainline railway station and the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside all within easy reach.
A truly individual home, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy generous accommodation, distinctive architecture and the best of traditional and contemporary living in one of the area’s most desirable settings. CHAIN FREE SALE
