House For Sale £1,650,000
The Millers Cottage lies on the south eastern edge of Bishop’s Stortford and is approached
from a minor country lane. A right of way over a private driveway crossing a small bridge
leads to its own private yew flanked access and to the parking and turning area.
This enchanting cottage has delightful gardens on all sides with a swimming pool with brick surround and outbuilding housing the filtration equipment and boiler. Two bridges cross a stream, one for pedestrians and one for vehicles. The initial section of the driveway passes two paddocks and is owned by a local farmer. A vast amount of creativity and hard work has been put into the garden which contains a vegetable plot, herb garden, bog garden, well-established hedging, espaliered hornbeam trees and fruit trees including apple, pear and peach, a greenhouse, sunken garden with a water feature and a large ‘L’ shaped garden shed. To the front of the property there is a wooded area and, beside this, an open lawned area with a pergola which is used as a wedding venue with restricted use.
The accommodation includes an excellent kitchen/ breakfast room with four oven Aga, integrated appliances and bookshelves, and a further with additional cupboards, a recess for fridge/freezer and
staircase to the fourth bedroom. The main utility room has storage cupboards and a butlers sink, there is also a cloakroom. In the oldest part of the house there is a hallway with Victorian tiled
floor and staircase to the first floor, dining room with flagstone floor, inglenook fireplace and bay window and a study with a brick floor. The drawing room was added in around 2005 and is a partially vaulted room with large oak timbers, a bay window and a handsome fireplace. Steps lead up to a partially glazed link leading to a wet room. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor of the main cottage. On the first floor, the landing leads to the main bedroom which has
a vaulted roof, two further bedrooms and the family bathroom.
There is a detached timber framed annexe which is weatherboarded with a mansard tiled roof. It is currently used as an Airbnb rental and has an entrance hall, kitchenette, two ground floor bedrooms and a ground floor bathroom. On the first floor, there is a further double en suite bedroom. Outside, to the front there is a small courtyard which is well-planted.
