Summary - GREEN TYE FARM, GREEN TYE, MUCH HADHAM SG10 6JJ
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot, historic charm and conversion potential close to local schools.
Grade II Listed mid-16th century house with abundant period features
A rare Grade II Listed home dating to around 1550, this five-bedroom detached house sits in over 2.5 acres of established Hertfordshire gardens and meadow. Period features — exposed beams, mullioned windows, inglenook fireplaces and a timbered sitting room with a wood-burning stove — give immediate character while multiple reception rooms and a sizeable kitchen pantry deliver flexible family living.
The plot is a standout: south-facing front garden, terraces, ponds (possibly part of the original moat), mature fruit trees and a fenced meadow with far-reaching countryside views. A recently built outbuilding close to the rear garden has good potential as a home office or studio, subject to the necessary consents and conversion costs. Driveway parking and turning beside a thatched barn add useful practicality for multiple vehicles.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II Listed so alterations will be restricted and may be costly; the EPC is rated F; private drainage is installed; and some historic wall construction likely lacks modern insulation. Heating and services require attention — the listing references oil-fired heating and full-fibre broadband is available. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and some renovation or ongoing maintenance should be expected in a building of this age.
This home will suit buyers looking for a characterful family residence or someone seeking a heritage project with large gardens and conversion potential. If you value historic detail and generous outdoor space and are prepared for listed‑building responsibilities, this is an appealing countryside opportunity within commutable reach of Bishop’s Stortford and London.
