The Property

The core of this stunning Grade II listed period home dates from the 16th & 17th Centuries and provides some fine exposed timbers and a very fine fireplace in the sitting room. There are alterations and extensions from the Georgian, Victorian and later periods and the property has been exceptionally well and sympathetically modernised to combine period charm with the convenience of modern living. The sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room are particularly fine and are complemented by a large dining room overlooking the garden.

The bedrooms are equally impressive, particularly the master with its mezzanine shower room. The other three double bedrooms are served by a modern bathroom and a shower room.

The house benefits from gas fired central heating and its courtyard is approached via a pair of magnificent 15th Century gates thought to have come from either nearby Quickswood or the Hospital of Saint Mary Magdelene at Clothall.

The Outside

The impressive double gates mentioned above open to an attractive shared courtyard. No 3 has private parking for 2/3 cars. Attached to the front of the house is a boiler room housing the gas fired boiler and insulated hot water cylinder.

A gate opens to the delightful south-west facing rear garden, which is partly walled and enjoys almost total privacy. It is some 90' (27.4m) in length and laid to lawn with paved patio, herbaceous beds and borders and ornamental shrubs and trees, including silver birch and walnut. Timber garden shed. Brick-built potting shed.

The Location

The setting provides the impossible: A peaceful enclave right in the very heart of the town. Set off the High Street, you have shops, restaurants and other facilities right on your doorstep. The mainline railway station is only 0.4 of a mile away. Baldock is on the Cambridge to London Kings Cross mainline and services run throughout the day. The fastest journey times are just 39 minutes to Kings Cross and 23 minutes to Cambridge. The town stands just off the A505 with Junction 9 on the A1(M) (southbound) being only 2.3 miles away and Junction 10 (northbound) just 2 miles.

The Knights Templar founded the town of Baldock in the 1140s. Today the town centre boasts many imposing period buildings and the broad High Street is a particularly notable feature. The town provides excellent shopping, schools (notably the highly regarded Knights Templar School), pubs and restaurants, with the adjoining towns of Letchworth Garden City and Hitchin providing an even wider range of facilities.
