St. Albans Road, South Mimms, EN6

Charles Henry Peppiatt are delighted to introduce an impressive and characterful five-bedroom family home occupying an exceptional plot in one of South Mimms' most peaceful and desirable settings.

Privately positioned behind a generous driveway and surrounded by mature gardens, open fields and countryside, this beautifully presented home offers a rare combination of period character, generous accommodation, extensive outdoor space and excellent connectivity.

The property provides approximately 2,019 sq ft of internal accommodation, together with a substantial double garage of approximately 313 sq ft, while the rear garden extends to approximately 12,000 sq ft.

What makes this property particularly special is the way its original character has been preserved while the house has been carefully modernised for contemporary family living.

A Home Where Character Meets Modern Family Living

The property was thoughtfully renovated approximately six years ago, including the replacement of the windows. Importantly, the owners have taken great care not to lose the character that makes the house distinctive, retaining its authentic period style and original features while introducing the comfort and practicality expected of a modern family home.

The welcoming entrance leads through to two generous reception rooms, both benefiting from beautiful original cast-iron fireplaces.

These rooms provide versatile spaces for formal entertaining, relaxing with the family or creating a separate home office, playroom or snug, while the original fireplaces provide an attractive focal point and reinforce the property's period character.

The Heart of the Home

The impressive bespoke kitchen and dining room is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the property.

Designed around modern family life, the kitchen features a generous arrangement of fitted cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and a substantial central island with seating, while the adjoining dining area provides ample space for a large dining table.

The result is a wonderful open, sociable environment where cooking, dining and entertaining can take place together.

The kitchen/diner also benefits from underfloor heating, adding an additional level of comfort and making this a particularly inviting room throughout the year.

A separate utility room provides excellent additional storage and laundry facilities, while a convenient downstairs WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Five Bedrooms With Exceptional Flexibility

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and provides five bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms.

One of these bedrooms is particularly impressive, benefiting from its own private en-suite bathroom and separate walk-in closet/dressing room and impressive scenic views. This creates an excellent private suite and could be particularly useful for guests, older children or multi-generational living.

The remaining bedrooms are served by the four piece family bathroom, offering shower, bathtub, toilet and wash basin.

The second floor is dedicated to the impressive principal bedroom, measuring approximately 19'8" x 17'11" (6.00m x 5.46m).

This is a genuinely substantial bedroom, offering far more space than typically found in a modern family home. The room also retains an original cast-iron fireplace, adding considerable character and creating a beautiful focal point.

The arrangement provides a wonderful degree of separation between the principal bedroom and the remaining family accommodation.

An Exceptional Garden

The outside space is arguably one of the homes greatest assets.

The rear garden extends to approximately 12,000 sq ft, providing a remarkable amount of private outdoor space and a feeling of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find.

Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden is surrounded by mature trees, established hedging and planting, with a variety of areas designed for both relaxation and entertaining.

At the heart of the garden is a particularly impressive covered outdoor entertaining area, providing a sheltered seating and dining space together with a built-in BBQ.

This creates an exceptional setting for entertaining friends and family during the summer months, while the substantial garden provides plenty of space for children, gardening and outdoor recreation.

There are also additional paved seating areas, mature planting and attractive views towards the surrounding countryside.

The combination of the large lawn, mature gardens, countryside outlook and dedicated entertaining space gives the rear garden a genuine sense of being an extension of the house.

Driveway & Double Garage

Approached via a particularly attractive large driveway, the property provides extensive off-street parking and a wonderful sense of arrival.

The driveway leads to a substantial double garage measuring approximately 313 sq ft, providing secure parking and considerable additional storage.

The garage benefits from power and lighting, with convenient access from the property.

A Peaceful Countryside Setting Without Being Isolated

The property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful position surrounded by fields, mature greenery and open countryside, creating a distinctly rural atmosphere while remaining conveniently close to everyday amenities and major transport links.

This is the kind of location that offers the best of both worlds: peace, privacy and open space at home, with excellent connectivity when you need it.

The property is close to St Giles' CofE Primary School, while The Wroxham School and other well-regarded educational establishments are also within the wider area.

For everyday shopping, Bignells Corner is nearby, with M&S Simply Food and Waitrose available, while Potters Bar provides a broader selection of supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities.

For commuters, Potters Bar railway station provides convenient rail connections, while the property's position gives excellent access to the M25 and A1(M), making London, Hertfordshire and the wider motorway network readily accessible. The local area is recognised for its combination of rural surroundings and proximity to these major transport routes.

For those who enjoy walking and outdoor pursuits, the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of open space, with local green spaces and nature areas including Wash Lane Nature Reserve and North Mymms Woods within the wider area. Wash Lane Nature Reserve North Mymms Woods

A Rare Opportunity

It combines substantial five-bedroom accommodation with genuine period character, an exceptional garden, excellent entertaining facilities, generous parking and a double garage, while being positioned in a peaceful countryside setting.

The thoughtful renovation means buyers can enjoy the benefits of a modernised home without sacrificing the architectural character and individuality of the original property.

From the original cast-iron fireplaces and period detailing, through to the bespoke kitchen with underfloor heating, private en-suite bedroom with walk-in closet, substantial principal bedroom and impressive covered outdoor entertaining area, there is a sense of individuality throughout.

For those looking for a substantial family home with space, character, privacy and excellent connections, this home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine distinction in South Mimms.
