A charming Grade II-listed country house replete with seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, five reception rooms, and a "party greenhouse", has hit the market for a guide price of £2,750,000.
Located on Hitchin Road, Gosmore, the historic house offers a combination of peace and convenience.
According to property agent, Douglas Sleaper: "The location is fantastic, both in terms of being in the village centre, but also its close proximity to Hitchin."
With more than 9,000 sq ft of built space, including a detached cottage available for separate negotiations, the property promises ample scope for its new owners.
The main property, Gosmore House, dates back to the early 16th century and distinguishes itself with beautiful proportions and period features expanding to nearly 6,500sq ft.
The ground floor accommodation includes a fine entrance hall, a large drawing room with garden views and access, a sitting room library, dining, study, and a bird room.
The first floor hosts seven bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the possibility to add more subject to planning permission.
The principal suite is positioned at the rear to capture the best garden aspects and contains a dressing room and a bathroom.
For those working from home, the property offers converted stable offices equipped with kitchen and toilet facilities and a sizeable board room.
Auto enthusiasts will appreciate the garaging: an insulated and heated space with a two-car four-post car lift.
The striking property sits planted within well-manicured mature gardens spanning 1.80 acres, bursting with mature trees and shrubs for screening from neighbouring properties.
A walled vegetable garden houses a "party greenhouse," while a swimming pool with a sizeable pool room stands within high brick walls protecting the poolside.
Painting a formidable picture at the entrance is a gated carriage driveway with spaces for a vast number of vehicles.
Moreover, a four-bedroom, three-bathroom cottage, currently given over to parking, can be obtained under separate negotiations.
Applicants with reduced mobility will find the ground-floor bedroom suite particularly accessible.
With its private gated access, the cottage can be deemed a separate entity.
Even amid its vintage charm and tranquillity, the property allows room for the future owners to modernise it to align with their tastes.
From households with classic autos to young families with a keen green thumb or entrepreneurs steering their businesses from home, this property beckons a diverse hue of interested parties.
