Rose Vale, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, EN11

CHAIN FREE - Perfectly positioned just moments from Barclay Park, this beautifully presented four-storey Victorian family home sits in the very heart of Hoddesdon and offers an exceptional blend of period character, contemporary design and forward-thinking eco credentials.

From the outset, the property sets the tone with a bespoke London Door Company front door, opening into a welcoming hallway where traditional charm meets refined modern finishes. Throughout the home, original features sit comfortably alongside carefully considered upgrades, creating a house that feels both characterful and quietly luxurious.

The ground floor provides superb family living space, comprising a generous living room with fireplace featuring wood burning stove, a separate dining room ideal for entertaining, and the true heart of the home - an impressive extended kitchen/breakfast room. Flooded with natural light from its partly glazed roof and striking Crittall-style bi-fold doors, this space opens seamlessly onto the rear garden and benefits from underfloor heating and a stunning green living roof that blooms from spring through to autumn.
Leading directly off the kitchen is a well-appointed ground floor cloakroom, perfectly positioned for everyday family use and entertaining.

The hand-made oak kitchen, finished in Farrow & Ball colours, is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring quartz worktops, integrated AEG appliances throughout, twin ovens, twin dishwashers, wine fridge, pantry cupboard and bar area - a space clearly designed for both everyday family life and entertaining on a larger scale.

Arranged over the upper floors are three generously proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from air conditioning, bespoke fitted wardrobes and elegant finishes. Two beautifully refitted bathrooms serve the home, each finished to an exceptional standard with luxury materials, underfloor heating and newly fitted sash windows suitable for shower use.

The lower ground floor offers a large, highly usable basement room with terracotta tiled flooring, industrial-style shelving and integrated drying space - ideal as additional storage.

Externally, the landscaped rear garden provides a wonderful balance of patio seating and lawn, with paving stones leading to a superb garden office/studio (installed July 2023). Fully insulated and finished to a high standard with bi-fold doors, heating, wired ethernet and wooden flooring, it is perfect for home working or creative use.

This home is also remarkably efficient, featuring a new roof with in-laid solar PV, solar battery storage capable of powering the house for up to 24 hours, an EV charging point and new boiler. Between May and September, electricity bills are often negative, making this an exceptionally future-proofed home.

Victorian-replica cast iron radiators throughout
Water softener
Nest smart heating system
Air conditioning to bedrooms and kitchen
