The Maples, Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire, EN7

Forming part of an exclusive gated development of just ten individual substantial properties, Beech House offers truly outstanding family accommodation and benefits from a secluded south facing rear garden.

The property has been well maintained over recent years and there is the opportunity for the incoming purchaser to undertake some cosmetic upgrading to their own taste and requirements. Flexibility within the existing arrangement of the accommodation could easily be adapted for two families or a dependent relative.

The Maples enjoys a semi-rural position in the heart of the parish of St James and is within the catchment area of highly regarded infant and senior schools.
Goffs Oak village is ideally situated within a few minutes drive of major road networks, including the A10, M25 and M11, while neighbouring Cuffley and Cheshunt both provide train links to London and Cambridge, together with bespoke shops and a selection of eateries. Closer to home, and just within strolling distance, is the ever-popular Prince of Wales public house and restaurant. The surrounding area offers a wealth of sporting and recreational facilities, health clubs and spas.

Early viewing of this surprisingly spacious, family home is recommended.

EXTERIOR

Front Garden

The property enjoys the security of being approached via wrought iron electric communal gates with lighting and cameras. A private road leads to a block paved driveway allowing wide access to the double garage and provides ample parking for several vehicles. Either side of the stone entrance portico are lawned areas with borders well stocked, with mature flowering and evergreen plants and bushes. The mature cherry blossom tree supplies shade on a sunny afternoon. To the side of the property is a brick-built archway with timber wooden gate leading to the rear garden. At night the front of the property is enhanced by external spot lighting.

DOUBLE GARAGE AND TOOL STORE With electric up and over door light and power connected. Eaves storage loft space and concrete flooring. There is an opening leading to the tool shed and log store adjacent to the garage, with windows to side and partly glazed pedestrian door leading to the rear garden.

Rear Garden

Enjoying a southerly aspect, laid principally to lawn, with brick walls panelled fencing and dense raised borders stocked with a variety of mature and productive fruit trees, yew hedging and shrubs combine to provide an excellent degree of seclusion. To the rear of the garage is a raised shingled area where an elegant copper beech tree and timber garden shed can be found. A wooden pergola lends itself to support a grape vine and well-established wisteria. Directly behind the property are a choice of two circular sun terraces linked by a red brick pathway and provide a sunny place from where to sit and enjoy the garden. At night the property and gardens are enhanced by external lighting.
