Marden Hill House, Marden Hill, Nr Hertford, Hertfordshire SG14

Marden Hill House was originally built circa 1750 with later Jacobean additions, which became the servants' quarters. There are stunning far reaching views from all aspects over the surrounding grounds which extend to approximately 6 acres and the countryside beyond. This exceptional property exhibits all the typical celebrated Georgian features, including high ceilings, large sash windows, internal wooden shutters, elaborate cornicing and grand open fireplaces.

The front door leads directly into a hall with plenty of room to hang coats and store shoes. A bright stairwell leads up from here onto a landing which firstly presents a door on the right into the sizeable fitted kitchen/breakfast room with a larder, plenty of worktop space and a range of storage units. The window provides a view of open countryside and is the ideal spot for a free-standing breakfast bar. A door adjacent to the kitchen reveals steps up to a vast boarded attic, benefitting from natural light.

Navigating the hallway from the kitchen in a clockwise direction, there is firstly a bright double bedroom on the left, followed by a large family bathroom. The second bedroom (size-wise) is truly superb and is located on one corner of the apartment. It is therefore dual aspect, enjoying views in two directions. Deep fitted wardrobes run along the entire length of one wall and the stylish en-suite shower room boasts twin sinks, a huge shower cubicle and a tall built-in cupboard. The next double bedroom looks out over the fields to the front of the mansion and has a traditional fireplace, a built-in wardrobe and a modern en-suite shower room. The largest bedroom comes next and is also located on a corner of the building. Here, enormous sash windows adorned with characterful inner wooden shutters provide views over two beautiful countryside aspects.

Arguably, the extremely spacious living room is this unique apartment's most impressive room, with beautiful, original exposed oak floorboards, an open fireplace which has always been enjoyed and swept annually and access to a large balcony overlooking the stunning grounds and countryside beyond. The huge, dual aspect, formal dining room also has exposed oak floorboards and is located on the final corner. It also has an attractive, original fireplace as well as three useful fitted cupboards and deep, built-in shelving. Finally, there is a generous snug with another traditional fireplace and useful storage cupboard, where the evening sunshine can be enjoyed.

There is a designated storage area in the basement, a garage, two allocated parking spaces and further parking for visitors. Outside the delightful grounds are mainly laid to lawn with a lightly wooded area and a walled garden.
