The Spires, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, CM23

A rare opportunity in a well-established gated community, built about 25 years ago, comprising just 6 luxurious homes.
The property is approached along a private driveway through remote controlled gates where there is generous parking for up to 5 cars as well as a double garage with remote control up-and-over doors.

The excellent accommodation amounts to about 5410 sq. ft (503 sq. metres), inclusive of the double garage. This comprises of, on the ground floor, an excellent kitchen & breakfast room, a dining hall, drawing room, family room, and study. In addition, there is a sizeable utility room, boiler room, ground floor shower room and a storeroom. The kitchen is hand made from special oak (Pippy oak) and all the doors, panelling, stairs, and skirting are of solid wood.
On the first floor, the master bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite, there are four further bedrooms, as well as a further ensuite and family bathroom. On the second floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with far reaching views over Bishop’s Stortford.

The gardens, measuring around 0.26 of an acre, have recently been landscaped with an extensive London Stone porcelain terrace, gazebo and tiled apron as well as a sunken garden which is a sun trap. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, terraced flower beds and shrub borders and a brick outer wall. In addition, there is a summer room, ideal for outdoor entertaining, and a generous bespoke sauna.

The property is unique in that it is immaculate both inside and out. The current owners have been generous and tasteful custodians modernising and upgrading the house throughout their ownership.

By no means exhaustively, most recent works have included a comprehensive redecoration, the replacement of substantial areas of flooring to incorporate solid oak, and renewed carpets. An ensuite bathroom has been installed, and an air conditioning unit introduced to the master bedroom.
Further, there has been extensive landscaping to the garden, providing for an ideal outdoor space for entertaining. This includes the introduction of a London Stone porcelain tile creating a terrace, porcelain apron around the house, and gazebo floor.

The well stocked flourishing gardens have landscaped with the addition of terraced walls creating cascading flower beds. The lawn is in immaculate condition.

Most generously, there has also been bespoke, timber framed, and weather boarded sauna introduced with a large pane of glass giving strong views of the terraced beds. And for those looking to develop the garden further: an electrical connection for a hot tub has been installed.
