The Property: Rustling End Farm is a Grade II Listed, timber frame and brick farmhouse in an idyllic rural setting surrounded by glorious open countryside.Description: Rustling End Farm is a Grade II Listed, timber frame and brick farmhouse in an idyllic rural setting surrounded by glorious open countryside. The 17th century house has exposed beams throughout and a wealth of character evident as soon as you step into the spacious hallway, which leads to the large kitchen with beamed ceiling at the rear of the house. The kitchen has recently been refurbished with deep blue cabinetry, space for a range cooker and recessed banquette seating creating a cosy dining area. From the kitchen door you can step straight out onto the large, sunny south-west facing paved terrace which has long views down the acre of garden. To the right of the hall is a cloakroom and roomy study with parquet flooring and windows on two sides. To the left are two more spacious rooms. The drawing room has an impressive inglenook fireplace housing a log burner, and a large bay window overlooking the garden. The family room has a smaller log burner and exposed brickwork.Two staircases, one in the hall and the other between the family room and drawing room, lead to the upper floor where the five bedrooms each have their own distinct character. The principal bedroom has a new shower en-suite, while the other four bedrooms are served by an unusually large family bathroom with a roll-top bath, double sink and walk-in shower. The house also has a cellar and attic space used for storage.Shrub and flower borders edge the stone terrace whilst the long lawn is studded with mature trees and behind the kitchen are raised vegetable beds and two greenhouses.A substantial L-shaped barn complex, across the driveway, has planning permission for a one bedroom cottage in the smaller section and for a cinema and games room in the larger barn.The Owners' Story“This house was our dream home, we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it, even though there was a lot of work to do to update it. We love the big kitchen, especially the niche we created for the dining table where the old fireplace used to be. We have banquette seating there and can fit in 10 people, it's where we spend most of our time as a family. The home office, which used to be the dining room, is another favourite. It's a really big study where we can both work and there's still plenty of room for a sofa so you can tuck yourself away in there. We use the family room a lot, though the prettiest room is the drawing room, which has a huge inglenook with a log burner and a bay window overlooking the garden.One of the best things about living here is the neighbours. There's just half a dozen houses nearby and everyone has been so welcoming and invited us over. It's not a through road, we only get walkers and cyclists coming past so it feels very safe and secure.We will really miss this house, especially the big stone paved terrace with long views down the garden where we've had so many dinners and barbecues. And if you want character in a house, this is it.”Council Tax Band G £3,436.57 Apr 22/Mar 23.North Hertfordshire District CouncilLocation: The house is just over two miles from the nearest village, Codicote, which has pubs, shops, an Indian restaurant and an outstanding primary school, and just over three miles from Knebworth, where trains to London Kings Cross take from 37 minutes.
