Ware Park, Ware

Greenhill Estates is delighted to present Daneswood, a substantial and individually designed detached residence, situated within the highly desirable Ware Park area, peacefully positioned at the rear of Bengeo, Hertford. Occupying an exceptional plot of approximately two acres and offering approximately 3,363 sq ft of versatile accommodation, including the double garage and additional room above, this impressive home represents a rare opportunity for purchasers seeking a property with considerable potential in a prestigious semi-rural setting. The property benefits from two separate entrances and enjoys an enviable position within its extensive grounds, providing an exceptional sense of space, privacy and seclusion. Whilst three of the bathrooms have had some improvement updates within the last couple of years, the remainder of the residence would benefit from updating and modernisation, presenting the perfect opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a truly outstanding family home tailored to their individual tastes. A particularly exciting feature is the substantial double garage, with an additional bedroom positioned above, offering fantastic potential to be converted into a self-contained annexe, ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or a home-based business, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Step Inside: - Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hallway, which provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. The layout is both generous and versatile, offering an abundance of reception space and considerable scope for reconfiguration to suit modern family living. The impressive principal living room extends to approximately 24 feet in length, creating a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining, with windows and glazed doors allowing natural light to filter through the room. A separate formal dining room provides an excellent setting for family gatherings and entertaining guests, whilst the conservatory offers a delightful additional reception area, enjoying an attractive curved design and extensive glazing that creates a connection with the surrounding grounds.

The kitchen is generously proportioned and offers excellent potential to be transformed into a spectacular contemporary kitchen and entertaining space. Accessed separately from the hallway is a dedicated utility room, providing practical additional storage and laundry facilities. A dedicated home office offers an ideal environment for those working remotely, whilst the remaining ground-floor accommodation includes cloakroom facilities. An additional door from the main hallway leads into an enclosed entrance porch, which provides convenient internal access directly into the double garage. This presents a fantastic opportunity to incorporate the double garage into the main residence, should a purchaser wish to extend or reconfigure the existing living accommodation, whilst also retaining the flexibility of separate external access, making it equally suitable for conversion into a self-contained annexe with its own private entrance, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Ascending to the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress, with three generously proportioned bedrooms arranged around the central landing. The principal bedroom is particularly substantial, extending to approximately 28 feet in length, providing an exceptional amount of space with the potential to create a luxurious principal suite. The two further bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, offering excellent proportions and flexibility for family members or visiting guests.

One of the property’s most notable recent improvements is the refurbishment of the three bathrooms, which have been updated within the last couple of years. These improvements offer an excellent starting point for purchasers wishing to undertake further modernisation whilst retaining the freedom to personalise the remainder of the accommodation.

Step Outside: - The exterior grounds are undoubtedly one of the property’s most exceptional attributes. Occupying approximately two acres, this substantial plot provides a rare opportunity to enjoy extensive private outdoor space in one of the area’s most sought-after semi-rural locations. The generous outdoor space offers enormous scope for landscaping, creating formal gardens, outdoor entertaining areas, recreational spaces or further leisure facilities, subject to the relevant permissions.

A particularly attractive and unusual feature is the benefit of two separate entrances, offering additional flexibility and practicality. This arrangement could prove especially appealing to purchasers considering multigenerational living or the potential creation of independent ancillary accommodation.

The property also benefits from a substantial double garage, providing excellent vehicle storage and further practical space. Positioned above the garage is an additional bedroom, creating an exciting opportunity to explore conversion into a self-contained annexe. With the appropriate consents, this could provide accommodation for extended family members, independent living for relatives, guest facilities or a dedicated home-working environment. The combination of the existing outbuilding accommodation, two separate entrances and extensive grounds offers tremendous flexibility for a variety of future uses.

For purchasers with the vision to undertake a comprehensive renovation, the possibilities are particularly exciting. Whether the ambition is to create a beautifully refurbished country residence, reconfigure the existing accommodation or explore further development of the ancillary space, this remarkable property provides an exceptional foundation from which to create something truly special, subject to the necessary consents.

Location: - The property is set within the prestigious Ware Park area, occupying an enviable position at the rear of Bengeo, one of Hertford’s most sought-after residential locations. Although the property carries an SG12 postcode, its location is particularly convenient for Hertford and Bengeo, offering the perfect balance between peaceful countryside living and accessibility to the town’s excellent amenities. This highly desirable semi-rural setting is renowned for its substantial individual residences, generous plots and beautiful surrounding countryside, providing an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for families seeking privacy and space without compromising on convenience.

For families, the location is particularly appealing due to its proximity to an excellent selection of educational establishments. The property falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded Bengeo Primary School, making it particularly attractive to families. The area is also exceptionally well positioned for some of Hertfordshire’s most prestigious independent schools, including Heath Mount School, St Edmund’s College and Haileybury, all of which provide highly regarded educational opportunities.

Despite its tranquil setting, Daneswood remains conveniently located for Hertford town centre, with its charming mix of independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés, traditional public houses and excellent shopping facilities. The neighbouring town of Ware offers further amenities, whilst Bengeo itself retains a wonderful village-like atmosphere with local shops, recreational facilities and a strong sense of community.

Commuters are well catered for, with Hertford East, Hertford North and Ware railway stations providing services towards London. Excellent road connections via the A10 and A414 also offer convenient access to the A1(M), M25 and surrounding towns.

Combining the exclusivity of the Ware Park address with the convenience of Hertford and Bengeo, this remarkable location offers an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy a substantial country residence within easy reach of excellent educational facilities, vibrant market towns and transport connections.
