A truly rare opportunity to craft a remarkable country home within the grounds of a historic walled garden in the heart of Hertfordshire. With full planning permission granted, this site invites the creation of a residence that seamlessly unites heritage, contemporary design, and forward-thinking sustainability.

The planning; 

Main House. A six-bedroom home with open plan living and full height glass windows running throughout. Living, dining, kitchen, and study areas, carefully designed for family life and large-scale entertaining.

Leisure Pavilion. A private retreat featuring an indoor swimming pool, gym, yoga studio, cinema, and secure below-ground parking for a luxury car collection.

Sustainability at its Core. Planned to meet RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge standards, with ultra-low energy systems, ground source heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and a biodiverse green roof seeded with native wildflowers.

The property is located in the Hertfordshire village of Preston which is 3 miles from Hitchin. The village has a primary school, a cricket club, The Red Lion Pub which was the first community owned pub in the country and was voted North Herts CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2018.
