Tucked away in the quiet heart of Old Knebworth, The Manor House is a showstopper—Grade II listed, steeped in history, and originally part of the Knebworth Estate. With architectural touches believed to be by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the house has been beautifully restored, blending period charm with a smart, modern layout that works effortlessly for family life, entertaining, or weekends full of guests. At its heart is the kitchen — a beautifully finished space with an Aga, Gaggenau appliances, and a large central island. It flows seamlessly into a glass orangery, flooded with natural light and opening directly onto the terrace. Outside, there’s a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a garden cleverly zoned for everything from laid-back lounging to games on the lawn. Up on the raised ground floor, the drawing room is a standout — generous in scale, full of natural light, and perfectly positioned to take in views of the garden. Equally impressive is the principal suite — exceptional in size, tucked away from the rest of the house, with fantastic proportions and a sense of privacy that makes it feel like a grown-up sanctuary. The layout has been cleverly designed for everyday ease and flexibility. It works beautifully for busy family life — with space to come together, and space to retreat. Its ideal for hosting, with guest bedrooms thoughtfully positioned to offer privacy and independence. Whether it’s a house full of family and friends at Christmas or a house full of teens enjoying the summer holidays — everyone has room to breathe. Its flexibility means that working from home is also easy with two fully functional home offices (with ability to reconfigure other spaces and rooms as needed). Separate staff accommodation is also possible. With so many principle rooms opening onto the garden, this is a house in which to enjoy an indoor / outdoor lifestyle. Modern tech has been seamlessly integrated: Smart home system Control 4 integrates Lutron lighting, boosted WiFi (including throughout the garden), AV with Sonos (separate sound control/ speakers in each room), and CCTV. There is air con in the principal suite. A Videx gate system allows access control through any programmed phone and the house has a monitored alarm system. Outside, the two-acre plot offers total privacy, complete with a heated pool, floodlit tennis court, and pool house/games room.
