A Characterful Family Home with Modern Comforts, Wraparound Garden and Room to Grow
Tucked away in the heart of the picturesque village of Henlow, The Gate House is a truly special home — offering over 2,000 sq ft of beautifully balanced living space, a generous wraparound garden, and full planning permission to extend. With log burners crackling in three separate rooms, a versatile basement, and newly upgraded bathrooms, this is a property that combines atmosphere, comfort, and future potential in equal measure.
Inside, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms — including a new 2024 addition complete with rain shower and pr system. The kitchen is well-equipped and practical, complemented by a separate utility room, while the character-filled living areas offer a wonderful blend of cosiness and period charm, including exposed beams and working fireplaces.
Downstairs, a rare bonus: A proper basement space with power, heating, and natural light — ideal for use as an office, snug, playroom, or bar. The house also comes with full planning permission for a two-storey rear extension and internal reconfiguration, offering an exciting opportunity to further tailor the space to your needs.
Originally part of the Henlow Grange estate, this Grade II listed Tudor gatehouse dates to the 17th century and sits within a conservation area — providing wonderful privacy while still being just moments from the local pub, shop, and good schools. Arlesey Station is just a short drive away, with direct trains to London King’s Cross in under 40 minutes.
Additional highlights include ample off-street parking for three cars, a large and beautifully maintained garden that wraps around the home, and a freehold title. The Gate House is Council Tax Band F and exempt from EPC requirements due to its listed status.
This is a rare opportunity to own a home with soul, substance, and space — ready to move into, but with plenty of scope to make your own.
