An Exceptional Country Residence – Now Offering Outstanding Value at £1.5M

Set against the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire, with far-reaching panoramic views and complete privacy, The Paddocks presents a rare and time-sensitive opportunity to secure a beautifully reimagined country residence at a level of value seldom seen in today’s market.

Originally introduced at £1.75M and now repositioned at £1.5M, this is a home that offers significant lifestyle and asset upside for discerning buyers seeking space, seclusion and seamless access to London.

A Statement in Modern Country Living

Extending to approximately 2,900 sqft and set within just under 2.5 acres, the property has been meticulously renovated to deliver a refined yet relaxed living environment, where design, light and flow take centre stage.

The heart of the home is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, crafted with bespoke cabinetry, premium finishes and high-spec appliances. Expanses of glazing invite the outside in, creating an elegant yet effortless setting for both everyday living and high-end entertaining.

A separate lounge offers a more intimate retreat, while a stylish boot room adds practicality an essential for country living, outdoor pursuits and family life.

A further reception room unlocks genuine versatility, with clear potential to create a self-contained annexe, private workspace or guest suite an increasingly sought-after feature for multi-generational living.

Underfloor heating throughout, paired with an energy-efficient air source heat pump, ensures comfort with a forward-thinking approach to sustainability.

Private First Floor Sanctuary

The principal suite delivers a true sense of retreat, complete with dressing room, elegant en suite and elevated countryside views.

Three further double bedrooms provide generous, beautifully appointed accommodation, including an additional en suite. A light-filled landing offers flexible lifestyle space, ideal as a reading area or home office.

Grounds That Define the Property

The grounds are where The Paddocks truly distinguishes itself.

Landscaped gardens, open green expanses and uninterrupted views create an atmosphere of calm, privacy and possibility a setting that feels worlds away, yet remains exceptionally connected.

The 40m x 20m all-weather ménage offers a rare lifestyle advantage, equally suited as an equestrian arena, private tennis court or bespoke leisure space.

A stable block and outbuildings further elevate the proposition, offering compelling potential for conversion into a gym, studio, office or additional accommodation (subject to consents).

For equestrian buyers, the infrastructure is already in place:

Four stables
Tack room
Secure paddocks
Direct access to outstanding riding routes and open countryside

The Best of Both Worlds

Waterford offers a truly enviable balance between countryside living and modern convenience. Surrounded by rolling landscapes, riverside walks and open space, it provides a sense of escape that feels a world away from London.

Yet just minutes away lies Hertford, offering a vibrant mix of boutique shops, restaurants, cafés and excellent transport links. London can be reached in approximately 40 minutes, making this an ideal location for those looking to transition from city living without losing accessibility.

The area is also exceptionally well regarded for schooling, with a wide selection of highly sought-after state and independent options including Richard Hale School, Presdales School, Simon Balle School, Bengeo Primary School and St Joseph's RC Primary School, alongside Haileybury, St Edmund's College, Heathmount School, Duncombe School and St Joseph's in the Park.

A Rare Window of Opportunity

Homes of this calibre, combining acreage, design quality, versatility and connectivity are increasingly scarce. At £1.5M, The Paddocks represents exceptional value relative to its original positioning, offering buyers the chance to secure a premium lifestyle asset with immediate enjoyment and long-term upside.
