Our Vendors Thoughts
The house was designed by the Sir Basil Spence partnership and the extension by George Petrides, an RIBA prize winning architect. We started discussions with a blue egg glass door handle as a mediterranean theme and imagined what it would be like playing music on a greek island by the sea. When you enter our house you proceed through a wide hall through the double doors to the rear reception room. The impression is of a mediterranean villa. The rear reception room has a wide vista to the garden, enough for a grand piano with room for seating and dining. The front reception room is flexible, used as a bedroom, play room, gym or guest bedroom. Currently it has a convertible settee and a treadmill. Shower room is across the hall. Upstairs are the original 3 bedrooms. We have brought up our family in this house and faced the common challenge of access to good schools in the area. Dame Alice Owen`s is about 15 minutes by car via Welham Green and Swanland Road. The local girls school is Bishop`s Hatfield. There is the Mid-Herts Centre for Music and Arts in the town. We are sad to leave because the changes were designed for us but we are moving to be nearer our grandchildren.
