Broken Green, Standon, Ware, Hertfordshire, SG11

Broken Green Farm is an attractively located period house situated close to the highly regarded Hertfordshire village of Much Hadham. This is an area popular with commuters as there is easy access to London by road on the A10 and M11 and by train either from Bishops Stortford, Ware or Hertford.

The oldest part of this Grade II Listed house dates back to the 17th century and the Listing suggests that there was a 19th century addition described as a north wing to the rear of the property. The building is constructed with a mixture of traditional timber frame with render and brickwork.

When the current owners moved in some time ago they renovated the property, which is now a mixture of the old with some exposed timbers and more modern with much art deco styling. The bright and airy accommodation is arranged over two floors with a particularly impressive entrance hall with staircase to the first floor, there are four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room with central island and a utility room. On the first floor there are a total of four en suite bedrooms, two with dressing rooms.

Outside, a country lane leads through a remote controlled gate to a gently meandering driveway which bisects the house and outbuildings and leads to a generous area of hardstanding and parking, the outbuildings are a significant feature and are all in good order, some brick and some timbe framed, providing excellent storage and a workshop but could provide additional accommodation if needed.

To the front of the outbuildings there is an attractive brick annexe with two interlinking first floor bedrooms and a bathroom and on the ground floor a bedroom, kitchen/dining room and sitting room.

In one corner of the grounds there is a purpose built metal framed storage building which provides garaging and storage over two floors. To one side of the house there is a manege and paddocks with post and rail fencing. The gardens around the house are laid to lawn with a fish pond, some planting and a sizable terrace adjoining the house.
