7 bedroom detached house for sale

A handsome Grade II Listed house of 16th Century origins in a rural yet convenient location. Listed Grade II being of architectural and historic interest, Frogmore Farm originates from the 16th Century with two matching wings added in 1932 and 1933 in keeping with the original house, complete with old timbers and jetted gables. The property was commandeered during the Second World War and occupied by Polish Officers. It was also a training base for spies before they were dropped behind enemy lines.

The property features entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, sitting room, study, utility, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, three bedroom suites, four further bedrooms, two further bathrooms, traditional stable block, garaging, games room, heated swimming pool, tennis court, mature garden and paddocks.

The house is constructed of timber frame on a red brick sill with panelled pargetting between the exposed timbers, all under a clay tiled roof. Internally, the house combines light spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first floor. A particular feature is the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room which is beautifully finished with a range of handmade wall and base units around a central island unit. Each of the receptions rooms are well proportioned with exposed timbers and brickwork and some with open fireplaces or wood burning stoves and the windows are leaded lights with mullions. On the first floor are seven bedrooms together with a selection of well fitted modern bathrooms. To the south is a wide York stone terrace overlooking the principal lawns. The property includes a stable block with four loose boxes and a tack room, heated swimming pool and all weather tennis court together with a mnage (in need of some repair). There are two double garages and extensive storage. The gardens have been carefully tended to provide a mature and private setting for the house with a selection of specimen trees, deep dividing hedges and well stocked borders. To the east of the house is a charming Italianate garden leading to the well fenced paddocks.

Frogmore Farm lies in an idyllic setting in the Beane Valley in carefully tended gardens and paddocks. Stevenage is just 4 miles distant and Hertford 7 miles, both of which offer a wealth of amenities and excellent state and public schools. There are good communications by both road and rail. Stevenage mainline station is 4 miles away with fast through services via London King's Cross to the City, Gatwick and connections via the Eurostar terminal to the continent. Road users enjoy easy access to the A1(M), the M25 and the airports at Heathrow, Luton and Stansted.
