Footprint: 3,987 square feet (six bedrooms, two bath)

Lot Size: 1 acre

From the Agent: "Built around expansive courtyard gardens, Back Lane seamlessly stitches together a series of old and modern barns to form a wonderfully accomplished and versatile family house in Hertfordshire. Occupying a quiet position, a stone’s throw from the lower green in the sought-after Tewin, which unfolds over almost 4,000 square feet of beautifully bright living spaces. Currently arranged as two distinct homes, these would easily combine to form one large house. The site extends to almost an acre, and there is an independent garden studio/home office."

The property sits back from the main village roads and is accessed via a stone path hidden discreetly behind beech hedging that provides ample privacy.
