4 bed detached house for sale

Benington Road, Aston, Hertfordshire SG2

Tucked away in a peaceful position within the desirable village of Aston, this enchanting Grade II listed four-bedroom detached home offers exceptional privacy, free from any passing traffic. Rich in period charm, the property features a host of original character details including open fireplaces, exposed timbers to walls and ceilings, and traditional latch doors—altogether extending to an impressive 1,978 square feet of accommodation.

Believed to date back to the 17th Century, with a picturesque thatched addition from the 19th Century, this beautifully presented residence is entered via a timber front door into a central hallway. The layout comprises a spacious dual-aspect dining room with a large inglenook fireplace, a striking lounge—once the village meeting room—featuring a vaulted ceiling, gallery above, exposed brick fireplace and double aspect, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, and a cloakroom.

Stairs from the hallway rise to the first floor, where you'll find two bedrooms, one of which enjoys an en-suite shower room and dressing area, along with a separate family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the second floor, revealing two additional bedrooms, both full of character (please note: Restricted head height to the entrance of one room).
The overall plot measures 0.3 of an acrea and the generous, sunny rear garden has a patio, large lawns, hedged boundaries, and mature trees. There is pretty cottage planting, a Summer house and a shaped nature pond. A step up leads to a separate patio area that accommodates a swimming pool (this area could easily be gated off). To the front of the house the gated driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to a detached triple garage. In addition there is a pretty detached brick-built outbuilding (the old village bakehouse), and a detached store.
Please note that access to the driveway from Benington Road is narrow, allowing for cars but not larger vehicles.
