Period charm, large plot and modernised family living close to transport links.
About 3,600 sq ft living space across two floors
Set within historic parkland once associated with Hallingbury Place, The Water Garden is a substantial 19th‑century detached family home offering about 3,600 sq ft of living space over two floors. Recent high‑quality modernisation has created a bright, farmhouse‑style kitchen/breakfast/family room with bifold doors to a terrace and heated pool, alongside three formal reception rooms and generous utility and storage. The house sits in an unusually large plot of about 1.7 acres, including a principally walled garden, water feature and mature trees — ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged for family flexibility: five bedrooms (two en suites), a sizable family bathroom and an impressive entrance with two staircases. Practical benefits include an unusually shaped triple garage with workshop, generous gravelled parking and additional hardstanding. The location balances tranquillity with convenience — approximately two miles from Junction 8 of the M11, Bishop’s Stortford and the mainline station, and under five miles from Stansted Airport.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators; the building’s original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and may benefit from insulation upgrades. Broadband speeds are reported slow and mobile signal average. The driveway arrangement is mixed: the first short section is adopted highway, with the remainder privately owned by a neighbour; residents have right of way with an informal maintenance contribution arrangement. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall this is a rare family home that combines provenance and modern comforts, with substantial gardens and pool space that will particularly suit buyers seeking privacy, outdoor facilities and convenient road and rail links, while being prepared to address energy and connectivity improvements where desired.
