Union Terrace, Buntingford

Bridgefoot House is a captivating historical property, originally crafted by William Thomas Nash, a notable architect, auctioneer, and surveyor. Built around 1836 and first occupied around 1837, this Grade II listed building boasts a rich and storied past, having served multiple roles—ranging from a workhouse to a residence and later as offices for the Buntingford Rural District Council.
Now beautifully restored and transformed, part of this historic house has been reimagined into a collection of exquisite homes, including this breath-taking four-bedroom character residence, which spans four storeys. The home retains many of its original architectural elements, including striking stone floors, period fireplaces, elegant staircases, and charming historic windows, all of which underscore its timeless allure. The current owners have meticulously enhanced the property while maintaining its historic integrity. Upon arrival, a set of graceful steps leads to an impressive front door, which opens into a grand hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the home. A staircase from the hallway descends to the lower ground floor, where versatile living spaces include a games room, an office, a utility room, and a cosy TV room or snug, ideal for relaxation and entertainment. Back on the ground floor, the home features a spacious, well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room, a formal dining area, a WC, and a sitting room concealed behind secret library doors, adding a touch of mystery and sophistication. The first floor is home to three generously sized double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as an opulent family bathroom. The second floor offers additional space, with the fourth bedroom and a separate WC and basin, ensuring ample privacy and comfort. Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking and a private, low-maintenance rear garden, offering a peaceful retreat just moments from the town centre and local amenities
