The home, in the agent’s words

Read the full agent description

Set within stunning countryside, this charming Grade II Listed former stable block, believed to date back to the mid -1800's offers character, style and a peaceful lifestyle. Tucked away just off Wildhill Road, this attractive mews-style home enjoys a private location and beautifully maintained communal gardens. The ground floor comprises a fitted kitchen, downstairs WC and a spacious dining area and living room opening on to an outstanding rear garden. Extending to approximately 150ft the rear garden is a particular highlight of the property, featuring a delightful pond and offering a peaceful, private setting. On the first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and bathroom with a staircase leading to a versatile and spacious loft room. The current owners have used this space as a third bedroom, making it ideal for growing families. It might equally work as a guest room or a home office. The property retains a wealth of original features including elegant sash windows and the original stable clock and bell tower, which can still be rung today, adding to its unique charm and heritage. Once forming part of Lord Salisbury's historic Cecil Gascoyne Estate, the former stable buildings have been sympathetically converted, preserving their character while creating an exceptional place to live. Further benefits include a garage and residents parking. Set within approximately 3.25 acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds, this exclusive development enjoys a peaceful rural setting in a Hamlet in the outskirts of Essendon, where homes rarely become available. A testament to its appeal, many residents have called the development home for over 25 years, creating a welcoming and established community. Despite its idyllic countryside location, the property is ideally positioned just two miles from the A1M and approximately 1.2 miles from the train station, providing excellent connections to London. The nearby amenities of Brookmans Park and Hatfield are within easy reach, while residents can enjoy scenic countryside walks from the doorstep and two well-regarded local pubs, The Candlestick and The Woodman. Excellent road and rail links, together with highly regarded schools and shopping facilities nearby, make this an ideal location for a range of buyers. Please note there is an Estate Charge of £150 per month.
