Bonners Farm is a substantial Grade II* listed Tudor house offering 5,707 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across multiple floors. Approached through a gated arch and cobbled courtyard, the layout suits multi-generational living with self-contained annexe potential and two home offices in the detached gatehouse. The property includes an indoor pool, gym and garaging for five vehicles on an approaching two-acre plot.
The principal accommodation combines period character—exposed timbers, brick fireplaces and original well house—with sympathetic modernisation in key areas, notably a large kitchen/breakfast room and multiple ensuite bedrooms. Planning permission exists for a separate three-bedroom house, presenting clear development potential subject to listed-building constraints.
Buyers should note material considerations: the Grade II* listing will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax and running costs are described as very expensive. The property sits in a secluded hamlet location with above-average local crime statistics, though it remains close to Harpenden amenities and well-regarded schools.
This house will suit a family or buyer seeking a distinctive country home with substantial space and income or development options, and who accepts the responsibilities of owning a high‑grade listed building.
