Description
Nestled within the prestigious and locally renowned Great Hyde Hall estate in Sawbridgeworth, this elegant three-bedroom apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy refined, countryside living within a truly historic setting. Set in a Grade II* listed manor house dating back to 1572 and later remodelled by celebrated architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville — known for his work on Windsor Castle and Chatsworth House — the property forms part of one of Hertfordshire’s most characterful and exclusive developments.
Great Hyde Hall is set within approximately 39 acres of beautifully maintained communal parkland, offering residents an exceptional lifestyle. Stroll through ornamental formal gardens and tree-lined avenues, enjoy a peaceful afternoon on the croquet lawn, or take advantage of the tennis courts and private cricket pitch during the warmer months. There are also allotments for keen growers and equestrian facilities including on-site stables — a rare blend of grandeur and grounded country living. It’s the kind of setting that feels like a rural retreat, yet is just 0.6 miles from Sawbridgeworth’s mainline station, with direct trains into London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, making it ideal for commuters and weekenders alike.
Approaching The Main House, you’re met with its striking façade and Georgian proportions, a stately presence that sets the tone before you even step inside. The communal entrance hall is nothing short of spectacular — a soaring, double-height space with a domed skylight that floods the room with natural light. A grand chandelier, sweeping twin staircases, galleried landing and ornate architectural detailing all speak to the building’s historic pedigree, offering a truly breathtaking welcome each time you arrive home.
Located on the first floor, the apartment itself opens into a bright and spacious entrance hall, immediately making an impression with its triple aspect and access to a private terraced balcony. Natural light flows freely throughout, creating a sense of calm and airiness.
To the left, a generous bedroom with its own window provides ideal space for guests or a home office. To the right, the principal bedroom enjoys picturesque views over the landscaped grounds, along with built-in wardrobes, a sleek floor-to-ceiling radiator, and a beautifully finished en-suite shower room. The en-suite also features sash windows and discreet utility space hidden behind wardrobe doors — clever design blended seamlessly with comfort.
Further down the hallway, a stylish family shower room features a Velux window, bringing in even more natural light and elevating the contemporary feel. The hallway then flows into the heart of the home — the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which is both practical and stylish. Fitted with premium Siemens appliances throughout — including a gas hob, double oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a Quooker boiling water tap — it’s a space that makes everyday living feel effortless.
From here, step into the main living room — a stunning, light-filled space with triple aspect views, a modern floor-to-ceiling radiator, and a charming log burner for cosy evenings. French doors lead out onto the private terrace, a suntrap that’s perfect for al fresco dining or a quiet morning coffee.
Upstairs, the third bedroom is tucked away under the eaves — a tranquil, versatile space with built-in storage, Velux window, and blackout shutter, making it ideal as a guest room, study or private hideaway.
