Set within the idyllic Hertfordshire countryside, this enchanting Grade II Listed home offers a secluded retreat in the quaint village of Green Tye. Dating back to around 1550, the house features a traditional timber frame with weatherboarded and plastered exteriors, showcasing its historical charm. The Listing notes its mid to late 16th century construction, including a 16th century west bay and a mid 17th century chimney stack, along with two later ground floor additions.

The interior is full of character, highlighted by exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and antique elements such as the original front door and mullioned windows.

The ground floor includes a timbered sitting room with a wood burning stove, two staircases leading to the upper level, a dining room with a grand inglenook fireplace, a family room and a kitchen equipped with a large pantry and an Aga. There is also a ground floor bathroom and two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three additional bedrooms, a dressing room, a bathroom and a mezzanine storage area.

Outside, a driveway beside the house leads to a spacious parking and turning area, passing by a charming thatched barn. The front garden is partially walled and south-facing, featuring a modern summer room and a useful outbuilding. Behind the house, you will find well kept lawns, a terrace and ponds that may have been part of the original moat.

The gardens are a true delight, filled with a variety of mature trees, including Rowan, Mulberry and various other fruit trees. Towards the rear of the garden, there is a newly constructed outbuilding that could be converted into an office with the necessary consents and investment.

Additionally, there is an aviary, adding to the property's unique charm. Beyond the formal gardens lies a fenced meadow offering expansive views of the surrounding countryside.
