Description
This remarkable property was thoughtfully conceived by Griffin Homes and constructed to the highest standards by Oakbridge House builders. Impeccably maintained and beautifully styled by the current owners, High Hurst offers a rare opportunity to own a truly dream-worthy home, enjoying uninterrupted views across the golf course and surrounding countryside.
Accessed via a secure gated entrance, the property features a spacious driveway offering ample off-street parking, as well as a double garage. Upon entering, the sense of light and space is immediately apparent, with a grand entrance hallway setting the tone for the elegant interiors beyond.
The heart of the home is a stunning, German-designed kitchen/dining/family room—perfect for modern living and entertaining. A large, light-filled sitting room offers expansive views over the garden and the ninth green of Essendon Golf Club, while a separate lounge/snug provides a cosy retreat. Additional ground floor features include a practical utility/laundry room and a stylish guest WC.
Upstairs, the first floor enjoys panoramic vistas over the golf course and open countryside. There are four generously proportioned bedrooms and three luxurious bathrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, benefiting from direct access to a wraparound roof terrace—an idyllic spot to enjoy a morning coffee or sunset views.
The beautifully landscaped gardens envelop the property, offering multiple seating areas and a generous patio, ideal for summer entertaining. The total plot extends to approximately 0.65 acres, providing both space and privacy in a tranquil setting.
Located on the edge of the sought-after village of Essendon, High Hurst combines secluded countryside living with excellent connectivity. The village offers convenient access to the A1(M) and A414, while Hatfield Station—just a short drive away—provides fast rail links into central London. Nearby Hertford, the historic county town, offers further amenities and cultural attractions.
The area is renowned for its outstanding selection of schools, both state and independent. Notable nearby options include Heathmount, Haileybury, Queenswood, Dame Alice Owens, Richard Hale, Simon Balle, St Joseph’s in the Park, and Stormont.
