Ardeley

A rare chance to purchase a spacious and versatile five-bedroom detached home on a 0.4-acre plot in the picturesque Hertfordshire village of Ardeley. Offering approximately 2,200 sq ft of accommodation, mostly on the ground floor, this charming property was originally built in 1969 and has been thoughtfully extended — including a striking split-level rear addition — to create a home full of character and flexibility.
The layout includes five bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, three reception rooms, and a generous kitchen/breakfast room with garden views. Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens surround the property, with a range of outbuildings, ample off-road parking, and a newly added garden-facing art studio. There is also scope to extend further (STPP).
Set on the historic site of the former lodge to Ardeleybury House, the property sits at the edge of a thriving village with a primary school, pub, church, farm shop, café, and more. A byway directly from the front gate leads to miles of scenic countryside — ideal for walkers and cyclists. The A1(M), A10, and rail links from Stevenage offer excellent access to London and beyond, while fast fibre broadband (100 Mbps) makes remote working seamless.
This is an outstanding opportunity to enjoy village life with space, charm, and modern convenience in one of East Hertfordshire’s most sought-after rural settings.
