Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an individual, detached Victorian residence, set in one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable locations. Being marketed for the first time in almost 40 years, the property is being sold with no onward chain and is ready for a new owner to enjoy this beautiful home.

Location - Over the years, St. Catharine’s Road has gained a reputation as being one of the most highly sought-after residential roads in Broxbourne. East Lodge sits on a quiet corner and is very well placed for transport links with Broxbourne Railway Station, being a short walk away (Liverpool Street in just under 30 minutes) There are excellent road links with the A10 giving easy access to the M25 and M11.

Broxbourne has a local parade of shops, restaurants and other amenities and there are very good schools for all ages close by. Further shopping facilities are just a short drive away at Brookfield Farm, where you can find a Tesco Superstore, a flagship Marks and Spencer and other retail outlets.

There are excellent sporting facilities in the vicinity including the Broxbourne Sports Club (tennis, squash, hockey, cricket, running) and the Broxbourne Sailing Club.
The New River is easily accessible, just a short stroll along a public footpath and Broxbourne Woods, Hertfordshire's only National Nature Reserve, is situated just the other side of the A10, a great place to go walking or cycling. Another lovely place to visit, within a very short drive, is Hertfordshire Zoo (formally Paradise Wildlife Park)

The Property - This delightful, detached period home was built towards the end of the Victorian era in mellow red brickwork, as a unique property that commands a favoured corner position in this highly desirable, tree lined road. The coveted conservation area is just a short walk from Broxbourne Mainline station that serves London Liverpool Street in under 30 minutes, yet the striking aesthetics would certainly not look out of place in a more rural, country setting.

The owners extended the house in the 1990's, blending the new parts seamlessly with the original architecture, taking utmost care and attention to the very last detail. Further potential remains to enlarge the living accommodation, should you wish to do so.

The layout offers: Enclosed entrance porch, traditional hallway, guest cloakroom/w.c., an open plan living/dining room which is part sub-divided by an attractive brick fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Just offset, there is a cosy snug area and a separate study. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room runs front to back and has an open plan utility area. Adjacent to this is the garage, which could easily lend itself to be converted and incorporated into the existing living space, as there is a further, large detached double tandem garage within the grounds.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generous in size and enjoys a dressing area with built-in wardrobe cupboards and en-suite facilities. There is a second generous double bedroom with fitted furniture and a smaller third bedroom. These two rooms are served by the family bathroom.

The front of the property has amazing kerb appeal. Manicured hedges and mature planting give privacy, with brick piers leading into the gated driveway and the single, attached garage.

The rear garden is beautifully maintained by a professional gardening company. There is a large terrace to the immediate rear of the house and a raised seating area, the perfect spot to enjoy outside dining in the warmer months. Mature trees and raised planting areas border the well-tended lawn. There is also a timber framed outbuilding, currently used as a potting shed and storage facility, however could be utilised in many other ways, depending on a buyer’s needs.

There is a small lane to the left of the house, shared with three neighbouring properties, that leads you to secure, double gates opening to a parking area and then in turn to the large, detached double tandem garage. There is also a personal door into the garage from the rear garden.

About Oliver Minton, Stanstead Abbotts

14 High Street, Stanstead Abbotts, SG12 8AB
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

On a personal note….

On Monday 25th October 1999, a life long ambition came true for me, as Oliver Minton Estate Agents opened for business in Stanstead Abbotts. I started my career in estate agency 14 years ago and stood down as Branch Manager of the Ware branch of Halifax Property Services in August 1999, in order to devote my time to the setting up of the new business.

After 4 highly successful years in Stanstead Abbotts as the first specialist village-based local estate agency, we are now repeating this success in Puckeridge. In Stanstead Abbotts, Roydon, Puckeridge & Standon,

by acting as a tourist information-style agency for these villages, we have promoted them to a much wider audience then ever before. We target buyers from outside the normal Hertfordshire Mercury catchment area and attract people to explore our villages. See ‘Roydon’ page at www.oliverminton.com . We currently have over 1000 applicants on our database and these are all people specifically wanting VILLAGE LIFE – not town-orientated applicants who regard the villages as a second-best option.

In both branches, I have invested in the latest information technology in order to provide customers with the highest quality estate agency products: Full colour laser printed details, 360 degrees moving image ‘virtual tours’, sophisticated Internet sites, floor plan capability, aerial photographs, computerized mailing systems and special sales progression features enabling us to efficiently manage the sale of your property. Both office databases are synchronized, enabling us to offer all our properties automatically from Puckeridge and Stanstead Abbotts.

Equally important to me as leading the competition in estate agency technology, is providing the highest possible levels of service to our sellers and buyers. We look forward to being able to help with your next property sale or purchase.

Oliver Minton

Our Stanstead Abbotts branch opened in 1999, making us the longest serving Stanstead Abbotts estate agency. That experience gives us great local knowledge of the village and surrounding areas and complemented by our other more rural branches, we cover a wide area north of the M25 including Cheshunt & Broxbourne, across to Harlow and the M11 corridor, and west to the A1 corridor beyond Hertford and Watton-at-Stone. At any one time, it gives us a wonderful cross section of town and village based properties For Sale and To Rent.

Our staff take great pride in really helping to nurse our sales through to exchange and completion - a crucial part of the sales transaction and probably the most stressful part of the moving process. We also sell LAND and NEW HOMES successfully, as described by a recent happy client:

Good morning Oliver. Happy New Year to you. Having the break over Christmas has given me the time to reflect on the year past, as well as what I want to achieve in the year ahead. Having had the time to reflect, I thought I would just drop you a line to say thank you for your help last year. Selling a partly finished building plot, is probably as big a challenge in estate agent terms as it gets, but I have to say what a great job you and your company did. Your persistence in bearing with me at the various stages of the planning and build process to give advice and valuations was instrumental in our success. Your local expertise and contacts obviously sets you apart from the other agents who were also interested in marketing the property. To have relevant buyers lined up for viewings within three days of the listing and to have agreed a sale within 5 days at the full asking price was beyond any realistic expectation we had. Additionally, you getting on the case when needing to when the sale took a little longer the expected, and being calm and sensible when buyers and sellers are at their most volatile was invaluable. Yours sincerely, Kurt C Obeney.
