Accommodation:
This is a really attractive house with an appealing classic farmhouse style, displaying the trademark generous ceiling heights and expansive room sizes, and these welcome assets begin at the main entrance which has double doors, with large windows above, that open into a generous entrance lobby graced with windows on both sides. Within, a fully glazed partition surrounds glass double doors that lead into the first reception/family room beyond. This is a superb room that is absolutely flooded in daylight thanks to the uninterrupted flow from the lobby as well as a further substantial window to the front constructed in a lovely bay arrangement. The generous footprint of the room allows for it to easily multi task as a lounge area capable of accepting multiple sofas and chairs whilst still leaving ample space to provide a warm welcome for visiting guests, along with free flowing access to the living room and dining room arranged around it.

One wing of the house is occupied by the main living room, a large room by any measure at over thirty-one feet long. Despite its size this room is a sun trap throughout the day thanks to multiple windows spread across all three of the outside walls, with ample opportunity for you to configure and furnish the space to dovetail in with your lifestyle. It has a superb layout, with an impressive stone fireplace within the chimney breast that sits centrally on the outside wall and a fascinating shape that maximises the inflow of daylight whilst providing multiple recesses and corners that encourage a creative approach to decor. There is a nice easy flow around the whole of the ground floor, with the rooms linking readily with each other as well as connecting through a number of rooms out into the expansive grounds. The living room is a great example of that, with doors from the reception/family room and dining room, as well as glazed French doors out into the rear gardens.

The dining room is another room that is well connected for easy use, both during day to day life but especially when entertaining family and friends. Glazed double doors with matching full height windows on either side open directly into the rear garden, with another set of glazed double doors connecting through to the reception/family room at the front. This is another room that is undoubtedly large, yet enjoys well balanced proportions that make it really usable and not needlessly oversized. It is an elegant room which is just perfect for dinner parties, with ample space for a substantial dining table and chairs as well as other occasional furniture. All three of the main living/dining rooms can be considered fully interchangeable within this flexible and adaptable property, so it really does offer full support for you and your family to live in it the way that best suits you.

The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room is a lovely light bright room with windows to two aspects. There is a comprehensive array of floor and wall mounted cabinets fitted around the full perimeter of the room providing more than ample storage space as well as plentiful food preparation worktop area. Integrated within the cabinets is a full complement of premium branded appliances, along with a fabulous butler sink and a designated space for a free standing double width range style cooker. Despite the abundant fitted cabinets there is still plenty of free floor space in the centre of the room, easily accommodating a good sized dining suite, or it would readily accept a central island with a generous breakfast bar. To the rear of the kitchen is a lobby with additional storage cupboards and a well placed guest cloakroom, beyond which is a convenient door out into the rear garden.

Upstairs is a nice landing, galleried over the stairwell by a fine banister supported by a raft of exquisitely turned and carved spindles, which leads to the four spacious bedrooms and the family shower room. Three of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, whilst the principal bedroom boasts substantial en suite facilities with a separate bath and shower.

Exterior:
The house is set well back from the country road on which it is placed, with a remote controlled gate allowing entry into a fabulous gravel drive that sweeps around a central raised bed, opening into a very large area for parking that stretches across the front of the house and the detached double garage/workshop to the side. Mature hedging and specimen trees ensure complete privacy at the front. Which has large areas of lawn encircling the outer edges of the driveway. To the rear there is an extremely capacious flagstone patio that stretches across the whole of the rear of the house before extending around the side to the garage/workshop, ending in a lovely tiled roof covered pergola raised on a plinth that is just ideal for dining al fresco. The garden is substantial and so it is always possible to find sun or shade as you wish, but is predominantly south-west facing and wonderfully private, offering a fabulous environment for spending quality time together as a family and a simply stunning venue for entertaining guests. The remainder of this tranquil spot is mainly expansive lawns, punctuated by lovely borders and beds with a curated and varied selection of bushes, shrubs and specimen trees extending out to and around the far reaching boundaries.

Location:
Despite its idyllic countryside location the property is still very conveniently located within the village of Epping Green, with other popular villages nearby, including Cuffley, Newgate Street, Northaw, Cheshunt and Goffs Oak all of which have vibrant community centres and many of which have fast rail links into central London. Additionally, all of the main roadway routes such as the A10, A414 and M25 are within just a few minutes drive, with the county town of Hertford just a few miles to the north.
