Woodlands is a substantial modern country residence set in about 5.15 acres of mature, landscaped grounds. The house offers exceptionally generous accommodation across two main floors with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and multiple reception rooms, arranged to support both large-family living and regular entertaining. A newly installed Smallbone kitchen (2024) with high-end Wolf and Gaggenau appliances, two islands and a temperature-controlled larder forms the heart of the home.
Leisure and guest facilities are a standout: an indoor heated pool, hot tub, sauna, fully equipped gym, bar area and changing rooms sit alongside a private guest suite with living space and office. Outside there is a fully screened tennis court with pavilion, extensive lawns, specimen trees and a separate garage/annexe block — all providing privacy and estate-like seclusion.
Practical positives include underfloor heating, full air conditioning, ample parking and a large garage. The property is in a very affluent, low-crime rural area with good access to local schools and transport links; Stansted and Bishop’s Stortford are within straightforward driving distance.
Buyers should note the scale of the plot and house brings corresponding running costs and maintenance responsibilities. Council tax is very expensive, grounds and leisure facilities will require ongoing upkeep, and the setting is a hamlet/isolated dwelling which may suit buyers seeking privacy more than quick urban access. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband availability.
