Summary:
Simply Homes are delighted to bring to the market this absolutely outstanding six bedroom, five bathroom country residence set within 3.7 acres of beautiful grounds nestled within green belt land on the outskirts of Cuffley. Located on The Ridgeway, widely recognised as one of the most desirable locations within the whole of Hertfordshire, the house was originally built in the 1930s, a period when the road transitioned from open farmland into an exclusive address for bespoke country manor houses. The architects at that time carefully selected the location and orientation of the land and then positioned the house on the highest point, thereby maximising the views out across the south west facing grounds to the sprawling Hertfordshire countryside beyond, and that of course remains one of the stand out features today. The house is built in an Edwardian style utilising a wealth of craftsman created Arts and Crafts details inside and outside and was conceived and constructed to include the detached lodge within the grounds that would have housed estate staff such as housekeeper, gardener or chauffeur. The house retains all of the beautifully crafted original details, but now also benefits from a plethora of modern amenities of the very highest specification as one would expect from a house of this size and quality, including a detached annexe that would excel as a games room, bar, gym, or guest suite, and a recently constructed detached swimming pool complex, as well as the two bedroom lodge that has its own parking area and private garden.

Private manicured gardens and woodlands measuring half an acre for this truly awe-inspiring wing of a Grade-II Listed Goldings Hall, dating back to the 1870’s and of which has been refurbished to the highest of modern standards, yet still reflect the architectural integrity originally intended by the renowned Victorian Architect, George Devey. This property incorporates the former Orangery and three of the major formal rooms of the original Goldings Mansion.

This beautiful home offers many superb features including full height stone mullion windows, panelling, ornate cornicing to ceiling, engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating, intricate plaster work and marble fire surrounds to the drawing room/dining room, and a superb orangery providing a light and airy reception room. The guest bedroom is located on the ground floor, with a superbly enhanced en-suite w/ steam room and bespoke fitted wardrobes.

The handmade kitchen comprises; a range of base and eye level units, Carrera marble worktops, butler sink, integrated Miele appliances (x2 dishwashers, steamer/microwave, American style fridge freezer, espresso machine), Lacanche multi-purpose cooker, built-in larder, Quooker boiling/cold/sparkling filtered water tap and charging station.

A staircase leads to the galleried landing with fantastic views of Goldings estate from an elevated position. The landing provides access to two further bedrooms. The master bedroom features full height stone mullion multi-pane windows, with a glazed door to a private decked veranda. Cast iron structural features and vaulted ceilings are a constant throughout the first floor. The master bedroom also features its own bespoke walk-in wardrobe. Each of the bedrooms have their own exquisitely finished four-piece en-suite bathroom, again incorporating the delightful character features.

A sympathetically and extensively restored family residence, dating back to 1485 (battle of Bosworth and start of the Tudors) and providing extensive and flexible accommodation of substantial proportions. The home has been thoughtfully displayed, combining a high specification with the numerous character features of the original house.
