Local area:

A historic community with good connectivity to market towns.
Part of the Civil Parish of Thundridge, High Cross and the surrounding towns and villages have an interesting history. The nearby hamlet of Wadesmill is notable for being the site of the first toll gates in England - installed in 1663.
Ermine Street, a Roman road which runs through Thundridge, served as the main North Road from London to Cambridge and East Anglia throughout the Roman occupation of Britain and in the centuries that followed. It eventually became a turnpike during the 18th Century, during which time the parish flourished due to the number of people passing through, with several inns lining the road offering accommodation. While the number of these buildings diminished due to the development of railway lines, three prominent inns continued to function, most notably the White Horse which eventually closed in 2017.
The eye-catching sites and amenities residents can enjoy include a number of grade-II, historic, timber-framed facades and The Feathers Inn restaurant which is situated less than 1 mile away in Wadesmill.
Other accessible attractions include the Truly Scrumptious café, Book Nook book shop and RSB Nature Reserve all of which can be found in the nearby town of Ware, less than 4 miles from the site.
The renowned Hanbury Manor Hotel which offers a variety of golf and leisure facilities as well as five star accommodation and restaurants is approximately 2 miles from White Horse Mews.
Additionally, a number of educational facilities in the vicinity including St Edmunds Preparatory School and College and St Catherine's Primary School in Ware and Duncombe Primary School in Hertford, can be easily reached by car and regular bus services. The village boasts good connectivity with the market towns of Hertford, less than 7 miles west of the site via the A10, and Bishop's Stortford, less than 12 miles east via the A120. Both can be accessed by car and public transport.
