A substantial Grade II Listed Georgian house with self contained flat in converted stables set within its large mature walled gardens.

(Property Ref: 164)

Overall Description

This is a substantial Grade II Listed Georgian property with adjoining stables, thought to have been built around 1790, which sits part hidden behind its mature walled gardens of around 0.4 of an acre, meaning the property has a pleasant leafy aspect on all sides and is surprisingly private despite being so central. The house has a great deal of period character with typically well proportioned Georgian rooms with high ceilings, sash windows, open fireplaces and panelled walls - there is even an AGA in the kitchen. Connecting the main house with the converted stables is a superb large, light and modern conservatory, a pleasant contrast to the main house. The stables house a pottery downstairs and a self contained flat in what was the hay loft, and have potential to form an annexe if so desired (subject to consent). There is even lapsed planning consent to build a one bedroom chalet in the garden - which it may be possible to reinstate. If you are looking for a large character family home with potential in a very easily accessible location then look no further.

Location

The property sits in a central location in Cheshunt so is just a short walk from an excellent choice of local shops (Tesco Metro, good butchers, etc.), and has very good road and rail links with Cheshunt Railway Station providing regular trains to London Liverpool Street (c.30 mins) and the A10 giving fast access to the M25, London and beyond. There are several good schools in the area including the brand new St Mary's C of E High School, Goffs School, Cheshunt School as well as Millbrook Primary which is right next door. Just up the A10 is the The Brookfield Shopping Centre (M&S, Tesco, Next) as well as Brookfield Farm shop. A ten minute walk away is the Grundy Leisure centre (swimming pool, tennis, squash, gym) and the Lea Valley Whitewater Centre (Olympic venue) is just one mile away, so this is an ideal location for growing families.
