This Grade II listed property, known as The Clock House, is a unique conversion of a late 16th-century coach house and stable block, transformed in the late 19th to early 20th century. Nestled within the historic Hallingbury Place estate, which reflects the design influences of Capability Brown in its landscape, this home offers significant architectural charm and historical significance. Accessed via a secluded tree-lined driveway, it boasts remarkable features including a vaulted Great Hall with original panelling and fireplaces sourced from the now-demolished Hallingbury House.
The layout encompasses a spacious entrance hall leading into various living spaces such as a dining room and family room, alongside an ample kitchen/breakfast area. With two staircases guiding you to seven versatile bedrooms (one currently serving as a dressing room) and three bathrooms (two en suite), there's considerable space for families or guests. Parking is plentiful with integral garages and gated areas accommodating multiple vehicles.
The extensive walled gardens are a serene retreat with mature borders, lush lawns, and an inviting York stone terrace ideal for entertaining outdoors. A notable feature is the disused tennis court nestled among the grounds.
Additionally, two cottages provide flexible living options; perfect for family members or as work-from-home solutions. The Mushroom House features up to three bedrooms while The Apple House offers both ground floor and upper-level accommodations.
Although this home has remained within the same family for over six decades, certain areas are ripe for renovation, allowing new owners to infuse their personal touch while preserving its historical essence—an exceptional opportunity to commission upgrades in line with modern living without losing character.
The property benefits from strong educational facilities in nearby villages and towns along with excellent transport links including Bishop's Stortford Station for direct trains to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. The M11 motorway is conveniently close providing swift road access across the region.
