Property description

Positioned at the end of a leafy country lane in the gently rolling Hertfordshire countryside is this simply stunning period residence originally dating back to the 1500's. Known locally as 'Boxers Cottage' this idyllic property would enrich the lid of any chocolate box with its beautiful features, encompassed by wonderful cottage gardens of approximately one acre. The elevated position offers far reaching views, to make the most of the wonderful sunsets across the gardens and pond.
In 2008, a locally renowned architect designed a fabulous addition, 'The Garden Room'. A startling antithesis, this vaulted structure, oast house in style, with a stainless steel roof lined in solid oak. This is a room of immense charm, creating the feeling that the garden is an extension to the property. Large glass doors retract and slide back opening up two sides to the adjoining patio. So impressed with the finished building 'Grand Designs Magazine' and 'The Architect', ran a feature article in January 2009.
The property has a wealth of fine period features, with 'herring bone' brick work to the fireplaces, fine bressumer beams in English Oak, which contrast with the modern lines of the 'Leicht' kitchen with an Aga range at its focal point.
There are a further two reception rooms within the original building, both with fireplaces with log burners. There is a boot room conveniently situated leading to the kitchen with separate laundry room. Three bedrooms to the first floor and a family bathroom, bedroom two has an en-suite shower. There is further accommodation provided in the detached annexe with a large double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom.
There is garaging and driveway parking for several vehicles.
