Sleapshyde Lane, Smallford, St. Albans, AL4

A rare opportunity to purchase a substantially refurbished Grade II listed farmhouse offered for sale to include a separate Granary/Home Office and also a detached self contained dwelling/annex. This picturesque gated development enjoys a semi rural location nestled within the pretty hamlet of Sleapshyde. The farmhouse offers an abundance of character features to include exposed beams and timbers whilst being significantly improved by the current owners having been recently rewired and replumbed. On the ground floor, there is an impressive new kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and direct access to the garden and a separate utility area and cloakroom. The kitchen leads to three main reception rooms to include living room with Inglenook fireplace, a spacious lounge with fireplace and staircase to the first floor and a dual aspect dining room. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms with en suite and dressing room to the main bedroom, new bathroom and separate new shower room. Outside, there is a pleasant west facing rear garden and ample parking available to the front and side. The converted Granary to the side would be ideally served as an office or gym whilst the additional detached two bedroom 'Beehive' consists of an open plan new kitchen/lounge with direct access to private rear garden, two bedrooms, bathroom and parking. This idyllic location on the fringes of St Albans is just a short walk to the popular Plough pub/restaurant and it is unusual to find a scenic and remote location which is in such close proximity to amenities and transport links. The nearest railway stations are at St. Albans, Hatfield and Welham Green. For the vehicle user, the A1001, A414, the A1 (M) and the M25 are all easily accessible.
