Unique homes are often snapped up but, when the market is slow, even the best properties can feel out of reach for home hunters.
There are some homes in leafy Hertfordshire, listed by abcproperties.co.uk, that are very interesting. If you can afford over £1m, there is a 4-bedroomed house near Codicote but if your price is around £0.5m a spacious 2-bedoomed penthouse apartment may be your dream home. Or there are one-bedroomed apartments for under £0.25m, in Datchworth and Knebworth.
The most interesting of these properties is the penthouse apartment, a private apartment that takes the entire top floor of the east wing of the manor. Approached via a long driveway and surrounded by acres of parkland, the Manor has private parking as well as en-bloc garages. The solid entrance door leads to a vestibule with a second solid door that is accessed by key or, for visitors, a doorbell-comms system. Walking towards the communal conservatory with south facing terrace, the corridor splits towards the east or west wings.
In the east wing, there is a quiet area at the foot of the stairs, a single apartment on the first floor and the penthouse apartment on the second floor. There is an internal balcony with views through the large window onto parkland and countryside. Entering the apartment through the solid wooden door, there are storage areas, a utility room and a w.c. before the inner corridor offers a choice of drawing/dining room, fully fitted kitchen and two bedrooms, each with en-suite.
Executive Rental
The Manor's proximity to rail connections into London makes it an ideal getaway for commuters as well as visitors temporarily contracted to UK offices in London, Stevenage, Hatfield, etc.. As such, corporate entities may wish to enter into a sale or rental agreement.
