This property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial renovation project within a historic setting. Nestled in the scenic countryside of Hertfordshire, this expansive estate features a spacious six-bedroom home, offering considerable potential for transformation and modernization.
Situated within a registered park and garden, the residence is bordered by historic walls that provide both seclusion and charm, while also showcasing sweeping views of the picturesque rural landscape. The property’s location enhances its appeal, combining tranquil surroundings with convenient access to local amenities and transport links.
The approved renovation plans offer an innovative vision for the site, designed by acclaimed architects MAW. The proposed layout transforms the existing structure into a modern country estate that emphasizes family living and entertaining spaces. With ample room for customization, future renovations could enhance the layout further to suit contemporary lifestyles.
The design includes plans for various leisure facilities such as an indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, yoga studio, cinema room, and secure underground parking—ideal for those seeking an active lifestyle or simply wishing to indulge in luxury at home.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of this project, aiming to adhere to RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge standards. The inclusion of low-energy systems, ground source heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and a biodiverse green roof all contribute to making this residence not only ecologically responsible but also cost-effective over time.
Materials chosen for the construction are thoughtfully selected to harmonize with the surrounding landscape. A blend of charred timber and handmade brick provides a striking yet sensitive approach that respects the estate's historical context while offering modern aesthetic appeal.
This property stands out as more than just a renovation opportunity; it invites you to create a remarkable family home that captures both heritage and modernity in one extraordinary setting.
