WellingtonWise is delighted to offer for sale as part of its Exclusive Collection Priory Close, a superbly presented and generously proportioned family home, set on a private road within the immensely popular market town of Royston, North Hertfordshire. This stunning five-bedroom property has been with the current owners for over 17 years where they have made beautiful additions, landscaped the gardens, and renovated throughout to an impeccable standard. Priory Close is nestled behind a gated driveway along with two other properties and boasts a 17ft purpose-built home office, which can accommodate at least three people, with garden views and separate cloakroom.
Upon entering the property through the front door and stepping into the wide entrance hall, the quality of this home is immediately evident by the beautiful parquet wood flooring, vaulted ceiling, and light and airy décor. There is a large double storage cupboard and ample room for a variety of hallway furniture as well as a desk unit underneath the wood staircase. The entrance hallway also provides access to a Jack-and-Jill-style shower room and WC, which can be used as a standalone cloakroom or shut off to be an exclusive guest shower room for bedroom 5. The ground floor of Priory Close further comprises a beautifully designed kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, and three incredibly sizeable reception rooms.
The lounge in particular is a stunning 30ft room; impeccably presented with a modern integrated driftwood-effect gas living flame fireplace, three sets of bifold doors leading to the rear and side gardens, ceiling spotlights, and attractive pastel décor which, coupled with the size, gives the lounge a very light, airy and relaxing atmosphere. Both adjacent to the lounge, the family and dining rooms are equally very generous, with large windows and a set of bifold doors respectively and ample room for a range of furniture. The current owners have brought the same light, airy and relaxing feel from the lounge into these two rooms with beautiful pastel décor and ceiling spotlights.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a considerably attractive space with a wide collection of solid limed oak wood wall and base units, under-unit lighting, tiled splashbacks, a tiled floor, and a range of integrated appliances, including a five-ring Neff gas hob, an eye-level Neff oven and grill, a Neff dishwasher and extractor hood. With three large windows to a front and side aspect and ceiling spotlights, the kitchen/breakfast area is incredibly bright and spacious with ample room for a large set of table and chairs. The large utility room is accessible from the kitchen and boasts exceptional features, including solid limed oak wood base units, space for a freezer, an integrated washing machine and dryer, tiled splashbacks, two windows to a front and side aspect, and a door to the side garden.
Upstairs on the first floor, Priory Close continues to offer luxurious and generous accommodation, comprising a wide, bright landing, a master bedroom with ensuite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master suite is particularly attractive with an entire wall of integrated wardrobes, storage in the eaves, a large window to a front aspect, and neutral, calming décor. Its ensuite bathroom boasts a wide range of spectacular features, including a free-standing oval bath, a curved panel power shower with glass and curved chrome doors, a washstand with integrated basin and granite surround, storage cupboards, heating towel rail and WC. The ensuite further benefits from ceiling spotlights, tiled walls and floor, and a window to a side aspect.
The second bedroom is a large double room with an attractive Dormer window to the rear garden, and the third and fourth bedrooms are similarly good-sized doubles, each with a wall of fitted wardrobes, desk units and shelves, eaves storage, neutral décor, and windows to a rear aspect. The family bathroom boasts another free-standing bath, a walk-in power shower, washstand with integrated basin, tiled walls and floor, heated towel rail, WC and ceiling spotlights.
Outside, Priory Close benefits from a stunning approach, set at the end of a private road with a block paved driveway, lawn banks at either side and wide flower beds, featuring a range of perennial plants, shrubs and trees, and a pavement leading to the front door as well as gates to the side access. Priory Close also boasts an impressive detached double garage with automatic doors, and a separate, purpose-built 17ft fully fitted business office, which can accommodate around three people. This office enjoys an independent entrance, cloakroom, phone line, internet, integrated fridge, sink and drainer, hot tap for drinks-making purposes, ceiling spotlights, two Velux windows to the front and side aspect, and garden views with a seating area.
To the side of the property, accessed via the dining or utility rooms, the side garden is beautifully presented with a paved patio, well-kept lawns, flower beds with a range of shrubbery, a seating area, and access to the double garage/office. The rear garden is equally stunning and benefits from a Southerly aspect, fully fenced with a large terrace with steps leading up to an immaculately laid out lawn, brick walls with generously stocked flower beds, and an exceptionally built and spacious decked area to the far end. The decking provides ample space for a wide range of garden furniture, including table, chairs, and loungers, as well as space for a large BBQ; perfect for entertaining guests in the sun. The rear garden is also completely secluded and backs onto protected and managed woodland.
Situated in the heart of the vastly popular historic market town of Royston, North Hertfordshire, the property is an impeccable example of a five bedroom family home, set down a highly desirable private road with two other residences. Royston offers excellent commuter links by rail to London Kings Cross and Cambridge, and many fantastic schools at all academic levels within the town nearby. The town boasts vast local amenities, such as shops, restaurants, bars, pubs, a local market, supermarkets, doctors, dentists and veterinary surgeries.
Vendor Insight:
"We originally purchased Priory Close as it was part of an exclusive development of three, " the vendor explains. "It had a very unique design, a gated entranceway and a beautiful outlook over the wildlife trust nature reserve. We liked the long driveway, and that it was secure for children, as well as having the opportunity to put our own stamp on things.
"We've done so much to the house since we've lived here and installed many luxurious fixtures and fittings, " the vendor continues. "We extended the lounge, installed all the bifold doors, converted the garage roof into a self-contained office space, installed the cloakroom, renovated all the bathrooms, installed the Dormer window into the second bedroom, and rebuilt the patios and installed the decking at the rear of the garden.
"It's just beautiful to sit out there on the decking. You can look out over Royston at the view of the town, the Heath and the woodland, but you are still very secluded and shielded on both sides.
"We will miss the house and garden very much, " says the owner, "and for me, especially, the lounge and master bedroom. They are so calming and relaxing: A sanctuary almost. There is still so much potential for future owners to put their own stamp on things, and there are many things to do in the town, including visiting the leisure centre, shopping, walking up to the Heath and golfing at the Heath Golf Club."
