SG9 0LH
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Large gated village home with flexible family spaces and garden.
Nearly 3,610 sq ft former school conversion with vaulted ceilings
A distinctive former school conversion offering nearly 3,610 sq ft of flexible living in the heart of Furneux Pelham. The house combines generous vaulted rooms and contemporary insertions — a modern open-plan kitchen and morning room, separate reception rooms, a dedicated library/study and a guest bedroom suite with its own stair. Downstairs underfloor heating, double glazing and a useful garage with an attached studio/gym add practical comfort for family life and home working.
Set behind an electronically controlled gate, the property sits on a large, landscaped plot with decked patios, mature borders, a chicken run and parking for several cars. The layout suits families who need adaptable space: five bedrooms across two staircases, one en suite plus a family bathroom and separate shower room. A playful custom slide links the upper floor to the entrance hall and will appeal to households with children.
Important practical points: the EPC is rated E and heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (underfloor heating only downstairs). Walls are original solid brick and assumed to lack modern internal insulation; further energy-efficiency work may be required. Broadband availability is technically present but assessed as slow locally. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The sale is offered freehold and chain free.
The village offers a primary school opposite the house, a pub and a network of footpaths and bridleways across attractive countryside. Bishop’s Stortford and Buntingford are within reasonable driving distance for shops, rail links to London and wider services, while Stansted, Luton and London City airports are accessible for travel.
