Woodside Green, Great Hallingbury, Bishop's Stortford, Essex, CM22

Tucked away in the peaceful location of Woodside Green, Meadowside is a home that strikes a lovely balance between rural tranquillity and everyday practicality. With open fields to the front and far-reaching views beyond the garden, with generous off street parking to the front, this is a property with the space and flexibility to adapt beautifully to modern family life.

Arriving at the property, the generous gravel driveway immediately makes an impression, providing plenty of room for several vehicles and giving the house a sense of privacy and independence.

Inside, the accommodation has been arranged with family life firmly in mind. The current owners have made bespoke alterations to the internal layout so as to create a space the whole family can come to together and enjoy collectively. The heart of the house is the spacious kitchen dining room, a bright and sociable space with a comprehensive range of fitted units, integrated appliances and plentiful work surfaces. It is a room designed as much for gathering around the table as it is for preparing meals, making it a natural hub for day-to-day life.

The ground floor also provides additional versatile reception space, offering plenty of scope for creating distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining, working from home or simply escaping the bustle of family life.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent flexibility. The principal bedroom is a good size and benefits from built in storage and room for a super king size bed all accompanied by a modern en suite shower. Two more well-proportioned bedrooms are complimented by a family bathroom with a small study allowing for stairs that rise to a loft bedroom ideal for a teenager offering independent space. Overall, the upstairs could readily accommodate children, visit family and guests, or provide dedicated home-office space.

Outside, the rear garden is one of Meadowside’s particularly appealing features. A mainly laid to lawn rear garden provides plenty of space for children and pets, while the patio terrace that connects to the kitchen diner creates an inviting spot for outdoor dining, morning coffee or summer gatherings.

Mature boundaries provide privacy without completely closing off the rural setting, while the size of the plot offers plenty of opportunity for keen gardeners or those looking to further personalise the outside space, subject of course to any necessary permissions.

Meadowside occupies a peaceful position in Woodside Green, a small rural hamlet within the parish of Great Hallingbury. The surrounding countryside gives the property an unmistakably rural atmosphere, with the nearby fringes of Hatfield Forest providing an abundance of opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
