Summary - LANTERN COTTAGE CARNELES GREEN BROXBOURNE EN10 7QB
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Grade II listed timber‑framed house dating from 1600
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Carneles Green, Lantern Cottage is a substantial Grade II listed timber‑framed home dating from the 1600s. Across about 3,250 sq ft and a 0.46 acre plot, the house combines period character — exposed beams, central chimney stack and oak veranda — with contemporary additions such as a kitchen/breakfast/family room with underfloor heating and bifold doors. Private south‑facing gardens and far‑reaching views towards London complete the picture.
The layout suits a family lifestyle: a generous living/dining room with log burner, three/four double bedrooms, a principal suite with en‑suite wet room, and three reception rooms for flexible working or play. A detached triple garage with an upstairs room offers garaging for several cars plus a potential home gym, office or games room. Driveway parking for multiple vehicles adds convenience for visitors and family members.
Practical realities are straightforward but important. The property’s Grade II listed status has legal protections that will complicate alterations and require specialist consent and potentially higher repair costs. Broadband is very slow here despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is banded high and local recorded crime is above the national average; both are factors to consider for ongoing running costs and security.
This house will appeal to buyers who value historic character, generous space and a large private garden close to good schools and Broxbourne station. It offers clear scope to personalise the upstairs garage room and some internal areas, but any refurbishment or extension work will need to account for listed‑building restrictions and the likely additional cost of sympathetic materials and specialist contractors.
