A Truly Exceptional Country Residence
Approached via a private lane serving just a handful of properties, this exceptional home enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion and privacy. A sweeping gravel driveway, accessed through an electric gated entrance, leads to the front of the property, where the first impression is simply stunning. The beautifully landscaped grounds frame far-reaching and uninterrupted views across the Hertfordshire countryside, with the neighbouring church and its grounds providing a picturesque backdrop.
A glazed wooden entrance door opens into a generous and welcoming hallway, with doors leading to the principal reception spaces and a staircase rising to the upper floors. The ground floor benefits throughout from underfloor heating, providing a comfortable and luxurious ambience.
The reception room is currently arranged as a charming dining room/snug and features a small log-burning stove, creating a cosy and inviting space. Beautiful tiled flooring flows seamlessly through into the impressive extension, which forms a spectacular formal sitting room. With its striking atrium-style roof, numerous windows and an abundance of natural light, this is a particularly impressive room. A beautiful wooden floor complements the contemporary yet characterful styling, while a wall of bi-fold doors opens directly onto a secluded patio, creating a superb connection between the indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces.
The beautifully appointed kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, combining contemporary cabinetry with warm wooden work surfaces and a traditional Belfast sink. The attractive tiled flooring continues seamlessly from the dining/snug area. A substantial central island, topped with granite, provides an excellent focal point and generous preparation space, while a comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer, separate under-counter fridge and freezer. A further focal point is the range-style cooker, which sits perfectly within the design of this impressive kitchen.
From the kitchen sink, the wonderful countryside views can be enjoyed to the front of the property, making even everyday tasks a pleasure. A large glazed wooden door opens onto a covered side passage, which in turn leads to the extensive patio and garden areas. The ground floor is completed by a useful and well-appointed cloakroom/WC.
The first floor provides a superb principal bedroom suite. Ascending the stairs, attention is drawn to the striking, sunken wine rack, an individual and stylish feature which adds further character to the home. The principal bedroom is exceptionally generous, with dual-aspect windows providing an abundance of natural light and wonderful views. The room also benefits from its own log-burning stove, adding warmth and atmosphere.
The principal bedroom is complemented by a private bathroom, featuring a beautiful roll-top bath, wash hand basin and WC, creating a tranquil and luxurious retreat.
The staircase continues to the second floor, where three further bedrooms are found, all of which are well-proportioned double rooms.
The first bedroom encountered is a particularly good-sized double with dual-aspect windows and useful built-in storage. A further generous double bedroom enjoys a large sash window overlooking the stunning countryside beyond and benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
The fourth and final bedroom enjoys an excellent outlook across the surrounding countryside and adjoining church grounds, together with useful built-in storage.
Outside
The grounds are a particular feature of this exceptional property. The main lawn lies to the front and provides an enviable vantage point from which to enjoy the far-reaching countryside views, as well as the attractive outlook towards the neighbouring church.
