Summary - THE OLD BARN, TIMBER HALL, COLD CHRISTMAS LANE, WARE, THUNDRIDGE SG12 7SN
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Grand converted barn with indoor pool, five bedroom suites and 3.5 acres in tranquil Thundridge.
Approaching 6,500 sq ft of flexible accommodation
Set within almost 3.5 acres of paddock, woodland and formal gardens, The Old Barn is a substantial converted barn offering approaching 6,500 sq ft of flexible family accommodation. Many rooms are grand in scale with high vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and large windows that flood the home with light. The heart of the house is a spacious, timber‑beamed kitchen/family room opening to gardens, complemented by four further reception spaces and a beautifully sheltered internal courtyard for year‑round entertaining.
Five generous bedroom suites, including a ground‑floor master, and luxury guest accommodation make this house ideal for multigenerational family life or entertaining. The property’s stunning indoor leisure complex features a vaulted pool hall with glazed mezzanine gym, twin showers and changing facilities — a major lifestyle asset. Practical spaces include a utility, laundry, boiler and ample storage plus a double garage and extensive driveway parking.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the home lies within the curtilage of a Grade II listed building, which will restrict alterations and can complicate permissions. Heating is oil‑fired, drainage is private, and the council tax band is very expensive — all factors buyers should consider. The semi‑rural setting offers fast broadband and good local schools, yet the location remains peaceful rather than isolated, with easy road and rail access to Ware, Hertford and London.
Overall, this is a characterful country family home combining historic fabric with contemporary comforts and exceptional leisure facilities. It will particularly suit buyers seeking privacy, space and lifestyle amenities, who are comfortable managing listed‑building constraints and the ongoing running costs of a large property.
