Property description
Duplex Elegance within Grade II Listed Victorian Mansion House.
Enter via a grand exclusive entrance hall to a magnificent high ceilinged panelled reception. This was the 1840’s residents’ ballroom!
Today, this skilfully converted four bedroom, three bathroom duplex apartment forms an integral part of the original mansion house (in excess of 2,800 sq ft) with breath-taking views over three and a half acres of mature communal grounds, including a separate enchanting walled garden for the residents to enjoy.
Residing at Haydon Hill House feels like living in the country.
The house itself was built between 1841 and 1843. Thomas George Fonnereau (1789-1850), author, artist and attorney commissioned Decimus Burton, architect (Royal Kew Gardens, Hyde Park etc.) to design something spectacular. He didn’t disappoint, but in the modern day, practicality is of course as important as the spectacular and with this in mind, the convenience of Bushey and Watford Town Centres are on your doorstep. Bushey has all the charm of a village whilst the town of Watford gives you enormous and varied shopping facilities plus the benefit of high speed train links into London and the North, as well as easy access to the M25, M1, A1M and A41. Nearby is an excellent mix of primary and infant schools, together with secondary schools with a great reputation, including specialist schools such as the famous Purcell School, a school for young musicians. There are also two private girls’ schools in this area.
Standing within an historic British building behind a secure gated entrance, this is a very special apartment from an era long gone.
