Hollow Tree Farm comprises two titles: home and gardens approx 0.7 acres and paddock land approx 6.3 acres. It is located on Hitchin Road approximately equidistant between the centres of Ickleford and Arlesey, each with village facilities, whilst the nearest towns are Letchworth Garden City (2.3 miles) and Hitchin (3.7 miles). The home is surrounded by pleasant gardens and large gravel driveway/parking accessed via five-bar gates. There is a second street access into the paddock plot.

The home comprises an original Victorian era two-storey farmhouse with modern barn-style single-storey extensions. The farmhouse section has the Master Suite on the ground floor (comprising entrance, bedroom, dressing room and twin sink shower room) and the other three bedrooms plus bathroom on the upper floor. The extensions, part of which were converted from former structures in 2012 and further added to with new construction in 2021, all meet contemporary construction and insulation expectations and this, along with the solar and heat pump systems, has resulted in the excellent C(69) EPC rating. Note there are many details to the solar and heat pump systems although broadly the solar has 24 south-facing roof panels along with inverters and batteries all rated 6kw whilst the heating is driven by a 6kw air source heat pump with adapted wet system radiators. Please make additional enquiries as necessary.

There are two large brick/block barns currently unfinished and ready for your options - please refer to floorplan. Historically part of the property was operated as kennels and there may scope for such use again subject to consents. The paddock represents approx 6.3 of the 7 acres and is mainly un-cut pasture with a mown strip for access. There are four further timber structures on the land which could benefit from further upgrades including a garden room on the west side of the living room, large shed/workshop, double door barn and gym/plant room for the pond.

Overall this is a rare opportunity with multiple potential uses and we welcome your further enquiries. CHAIN-FREE SALE.
