High RoadEssendon, Hertfordshire, AL9 6HS

The Limes in Essendon is one of the landmark homes in the area, set in a private, mature and landscaped garden of around 1.2 acres.

A gravel driveway leads to the front door and in turn the reception hallway where there is a guest WC.

The principal reception rooms include a dining room, drawing room and snug, leading to an orangery which has a lovely aspect over the garden. The house exudes character with many original features including open fireplaces, timber flooring and period sash windows.

To the rear quarter of the house is a sizeable, open plan kitchen / breakfast room with a range of traditional units, peninsular unit and range style oven. Large sash windows look onto the pretty courtyard area. Off the kitchen is a larder, utility and boiler room.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms (one en suite). Three of these rooms have fitted wardrobes and one is currently used a study.

Outside, accessed off the High Road is a deep additional parking area in front of a three bay garage which has a storage room over. Behind this is a purpose built studio / workshop with a WC, wood burner and mezzanine level - ideal for a multitude of uses including conversion to a self contained annex, subject to planning.

The gardens provide much interest and have been tastefully landscaped over the years with a selection of mature trees, shrubs and flower bed borders. In addition, one boundary has an old stock brick wall with a greenhouse and vegetable patch. A vine covered pergola adjacent to this provides a shady seating area in the summer months.

At the bottom of the garden is an enclosed tennis court.
