3 bedroom terraced houseLawn Avenue, Kimpton, SG4 8QD

Escape to the countryside with this surprisingly spacious 3-bed property with a large, private garden. Just a 2-minute walk from open country and yet only 10 minutes’ drive from mainline stations, the M1 and the A1M. This terraced home is located on a quiet road in the popular Hertfordshire village of Kimpton. It is within a short stroll of the village shop, pub and primary school. There are various other amenities in the village (see below), and the full range of other schools and facilities can be found in nearby towns, such as Harpenden. Upon entering the house, the hall provides access to the kitchen/diner and a large lounge (both dual aspect), a downstairs WC and the rear lobby. Upstairs is a big, dual aspect master bedroom, two more well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside to the front are off-road parking, beds containing shrubs and flowering plants, and access to a private side passage to the rear. The landscaped, south-facing rear garden is a particular feature, extending to 120 feet (37m) in length, and is surprisingly private. From the lobby, one steps out onto a substantial deck, ideal for BBQs and parties; and from this is accessed the brick-built workshop. The deck and lawns are surrounded by easily maintained beds of shrubs and flowering plants, which attract a wealth of wildlife such as bumblebees, butterflies, birds and hedgehogs. The large pond is home to lots of frogs, newts and dragonflies. Along with a big apple tree (the apples are excellent for cooking, and cider!) there are many different fruit bushes, a large and productive vegetable plot, a greenhouse and a garden shed. And, nestled at the bottom of the garden is a quiet, secluded patio – an ideal spot for relaxing in the evening sun.
