Baldock Road is a delightful period home combining plenty of character with sleek modern styling and high-quality fittings.Originally the site of the local post office, the main property dates back to 1850, with extensions added in 1920 and again in 1970. More recently, the home was extensively modernised and further extended in 2022 to provide four bedrooms and spacious open-plan living and entertaining areas, while the red-brick elevations, leaded windows, white picket fence, wall-mounted clock and original cast-iron pillar box evoke memories of the building’s origins.

The principal ground floor reception room is positioned towards the rear within an extended part of the home and features a skylight and dual aspect, welcoming plenty of natural light, including French doors opening onto the rear gardens. There is space for both seating and dining areas, while the adjoining kitchen and breakfast room, connected via an open squared archway, provides further space in which to relax or entertain. This L-shaped room has space for a breakfast table, while the kitchen itself is fitted with contemporary white units, integrated appliances and a central island with a breakfast bar.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room, while the other is accessed through a dressing room or study and has an adjoining bathroom with a modern freestanding bathtub. The first floor provides a further two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both featuring fitted storage and en suite shower rooms.

Outside, white picket fencing borders the paved front garden, while there is a parking space to the side. The private rear gardens are beautifully landscaped and feature a large patio area, a level lawn, border beds, shrubs and trees, as well as a further sunny patio at the far end alongside a garden outbuilding with a hot tub shelter and summer house.

Situation
