Set on a very large plot in sought-after Hatfield Heath, this extended period house blends original 1920s character with a contemporary 2019 open-plan extension. The ground floor living space centres on a vaulted timber-framed seating area and an open kitchen/breakfast/family room with high-quality fixtures, while double doors open onto a south-facing terrace and formal garden ideal for family life and entertaining.
The accommodation is flexible: five bedrooms in the main house (main and one further bedroom on the ground floor) plus a self-contained two-bedroom annexe — useful for multi-generational living, long-stay guests or rental income. Outbuildings include a barn with attached single garage, double store, two stables, tack room and useful garden stores, plus gated parking for 2–3 cars.
Practical points are clear: the house was upgraded in 2019 and benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing (fitted during/after 2002) and fast broadband in a low-crime, affluent village. Notable negatives to weigh are higher council tax, the property record listing a timber frame (assumed insulated) and a conflicting built-form note showing semi-detached despite long descriptions as detached. These are matters for buyer due diligence.
For a family seeking countryside living with convenient commuter access (close to the new M11 Junction 7A and within easy reach of Bishop's Stortford and Sawbridgeworth), this property offers extensive indoor/outdoor space, practical ancillary buildings and immediate village amenities within walking distance.
