A rare penthouse within a Grade I listed 17th-century mansion, this two-bedroom apartment combines grand historic setting with generous contemporary living space. The apartment occupies a substantial 1,345 sq ft and benefits from high ceilings, large windows and views over meticulously maintained formal parkland, delivering a sense of calm and privacy in an affluent Hertford location.
The open-plan living and bespoke kitchen are arranged for relaxed entertaining, while two double bedrooms each include en-suite facilities. Residents have use of circa 67 acres of private grounds, landscaped gardens and both surface and secure underground parking — a strong package for downsizers wanting space and low local crime.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade I listing brings planning restrictions and potential delays for alterations; the property is leasehold with about 160 years remaining. Service charge and council tax are above average, and the solid brick construction means walls likely lack modern insulation, which could affect running costs and comfort unless upgraded (subject to listed-building consents).
This home will suit buyers seeking character, generous room sizes and a prestigious address rather than those wanting a blank‑canvas modern retrofit. Chain-free sale and long lease simplify purchase, but factor in ongoing service costs and listed‑building constraints before viewing.
