Arnoldsfield is situated in a semi rural location on the edge of this highly desirable Hertfordshire village. The village is best known for Shaw's Corner, once home to George Bernard Shaw and owned since the 1950's by The National Trust. The village is surrounded by open countryside and farmland and yet has easy access into other major towns around, including Harpenden, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage, each with their mainline railway stations and more comprehensive shopping facilities. Welwyn North station is under 4 miles away which offers fast and frequent trains to London Kings Cross. Harpenden station is under 7 miles away. Luton International Airport is around 6 miles distant. Excellent schools can be found both in the public or private sector in nearby towns.
Description
A well appointed detached family home re-built, we understand, in the early 1980's. The property enjoys good sized reception rooms starting with a large welcoming reception hall with most rooms leading off. All rooms enjoy higher than normal ceiling heights, some of which are part timbered. A particular feature is the dining room with full height brick chimney stack and exposed timber work to the vaulted ceiling, opening fully onto the first floor landing.
The first floor offers 5 bedrooms, 2 of which have en suite and 2 further bathrooms, one of which is incomplete. Externally, there is a large - L' shaped 6 car garage, each of the doors electronically operated, and with a further workshop area off. There is a very large roof area to this garage which could provide excellent additional storage or further use, subject to the usual planning consents. The large grounds extend to, we understand, around 3 ? acres and are mainly surrounded by woodland. Additionally, there is a 4-bay stable block.
