Simply Homes are delighted to bring to the market this exceptional two double bedroom, three bathroom family home occupying an idyllic countryside location just south of Hertford. The property forms part of an outstanding conversion of a collection of farm buildings which have been redesigned to provide a curated collection of beautiful homes that now offer modern luxury living and premium quality fixtures and fittings, but still retain the charm and authentic character of the original buildings. The property enjoys a wonderful mix of generous private spaces along with additional communal grounds that includes guest parking, gardens and an area of natural countryside, all of which are managed and maintained by way of a nominal monthly service charge. There is private parking for four cars, with power connected ready for an EV charging point, a large boarded loft offering additional storage space, full fibre broadband available and oil fired heating controlled by a Nest smart thermostat. The current owners have redesigned the upstairs space to provide two generous bedroom suites, both with en-suite shower rooms, but it could easily be reconfigured into its original format of three bedrooms if so desired.

Simply Homes are delighted to present this beautifully proportioned three-bedroom detached family home, ideally located in the highly sought-after town of Royston.

This impressive property offers generous living accommodation throughout, beginning with a bright and spacious living room that flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen/dining area. The kitchen features stylish tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances, making it perfectly suited to both everyday family living and entertaining. It is further complemented by a separate utility room and a convenient cloakroom/WC.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises a principal bedroom with a fully tiled en-suite, creating a comfortable and private retreat. Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom suite.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a well-maintained private rear garden, ideal for relaxing or al fresco dining. Additional benefits include an integral garage and driveway, providing ample off-street parking.

Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Royston’s most desirable areas, the home enjoys all the advantages of this attractive market town. Local amenities include a variety of shops, well-regarded schools, a golf course, health and leisure centres, and a twice-weekly market.

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. Complete with detached two storey, two bedroom annexe. 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.

Glazed internal doors allow the light flooding in through the large number of windows to permeate throughout the ground floor, further boosted by the French doors that open out from all of the day to day living rooms into the rear courtyard, making the absolute best use of the ‘L’ shaped layout of the building. There is a lovely free flow around the ground floor, aided by a number of open plan connections and the appealing use of double doors from room to room. The house is set on a large plot allowing generous gardens to the front and rear as well as a detached double garage to the side of the house at the end of a long sweeping carriage driveway.

Inside is a spacious entrance hall that flows back through the centre of the house, opening into a large reception area as it does so before linking out through glazed double doors into the rear garden.
