A stunning period home with leisure complex, set in just over 4.5 acres, behind a discreet gated frontage at the heart of one of Hertfordshire's most popular villages.
The Orchard is a magnificent character home which our clients have spent many years enhancing and modernising to provide exemplary living space.
Set at the head of the private driveway which sweeps past the triple garage, the grand, galleried entrance hallway gives access to the principal reception rooms and the study. The bespoke kitchen and utility room provide ample storage
Upstairs, on the first floor, there are four generous bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms and a second fitted study. The top floor has two further bedrooms both of which are en suite.
To the rear of the house is the Leisure Complex, in which there is an indoor pool, games room, bar and changing facilities. Adjacent to this is a substantial terrace / BBQ area.
The formal landscaped gardens extend to around 1.7 acres, with a variety of neatly tended borders, fruit trees and hedging. There is a koi fish pond with a raised decked seating area enjoying views over the tennis court and fields beyond. The paddocks to the rear currently provide a wild meadow with mown paths through it, offering another 2.8 acres.

The Orchard is one of the nicest houses in the village for me - its got all you could wish for in terms of space and facilities yet is tucked away up a private driveway - its easy to miss, which for me, is part of the charm. The owners have really spent a lot of time to design and finish the house to a really high standard.
