Description

The Old Court House is one of the most exciting residential conversion opportunities to come to the market in Hertfordshire in recent years.

With full Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent granted, this remarkable curtilage-listed former courthouse has an approved scheme for conversion to create exceptional four-bedroom accommodation extending to approximately 2,420 sq ft.

At the heart of the approved design is an extraordinary double-height living space with vaulted ceilings and a mezzanine gallery, creating a home of impressive scale and architectural character rarely found in today's market. This is a unique opportunity to create a luxurious, contemporary family home while preserving the charm and history of this landmark building.

Situated in the heart of Buntingford, the property is within easy reach of the town’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and everyday amenities.
