Wormleybury, Church Lane, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, EN10

Offered With No Upward Chain

The Well House is A Striking Example Of The Seamless Marriage Between Old And New. Aptly named, the property immediately reveals its heritage as you enter to discover The Original Spring Fed Well For The Main House, Now Covered With Glass And Transformed Into A Beautifully Illuminated Ornamental Fishpond.

From The Sitting Room, You Can Watch The Wildlife Through The Windows And Even Feed The Array Of Birds, some of whom will tap on the glass when they know you're there. Throughout the property, character features are thoughtfully blended with modern day comforts, creating a home that is both atmospheric and effortlessly practical.

Wormleybury itself has a rich and distinguished history, with a residence on the site recorded as early as 1525. The current Grade I listed neo classical manor house was constructed in 1767 for Abraham Hume and later refined by renowned architect Robert Adam in the 1770s.

Perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds, the property sits within a peaceful countryside setting, yet several nearby towns are only a short drive away, offering an excellent selection of shops, international eateries and sporting facilities. Commuters are well served too, with convenient access to London and the Home Counties via both road and rail.
