House For Sale £1,000,000
Great Hallingbury
What we think at the Zoe Napier Group
This is an elegant family home, tucked away in a wonderful countryside setting with wonderful walks on your doorstep through the national trust Hatfield Forest and yet enjoys the convenience of only being a short drive away from Bishop’s Stortford’s bustling town centre and mainline railway station, providing excellent access into London’s Liverpool Street.
What the owner says
It genuinely has been a privilege to be part of the local community for over twenty years and we have thoroughly enjoyed bringing our children up here. We have had countless adventures in Hatfield Forest and will remember them fondly, but the time has now come for another family to make their own memories!
History & Background
This spacious Victorian family residence with later additions is located within a stone’s throw of Hatfield Forest and Woodside Green, standing on impressive grounds of 0.5 of an acre. The property has the benefit of being accessible via two separate driveways, the first leading to a large shingle driveway and the second to a stable block with potential to convert into a self-contained annexe (subject to the necessary consents). The grounds are a particular feature, facing south and backing onto paddock with an expansive, recently constructed patio area, perfect for summer entertaining. Internally on the ground floor the property offers three excellent size living areas with large, well-proportioned rooms and high ceilings, complimented by an excellent size kitchen/breakfast room with aga and adjoining utility room. On
the first floor there are four bright and spacious double bedrooms and a roomy family bathroom with beautiful views over the neighbouring countryside.
Setting & Location
Woodside Green is a stunning National Trust area on the fringes of Hatfield Forest, set equidistant between the larger villages of Hatfield Broad Oak, Hatfield Heath and Little Hallingbury and a short drive from the larger market towns of Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth. Howe Green House School is just 1 mile away and access to the M11 is approximately 4 miles away. Stansted airport is in easy reach. There is an excellent commuter service to London Liverpool Street at Sawbridgeworth 3.6 miles away and Bishop’s Stortford (from 38 minutes approx.) 3.7 miles away (all distances approximate).
Bishop’s Stortford offers a variety of shopping and sporting facilities including Mint Velvet, H&M, Waitrose, cinema, two leisure centres and a wide selection of pubs, bars and restaurants. There is also excellent schooling available at Hockerill and The Hertfordshire & Essex High School to name just a few.
