Property Insight

Ensum Brown are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional four-bedroom home, forming part of a beautifully converted Grade II Listed Victorian mansion house, set within approximately 12 acres of landscaped parkland. This unique property enjoys remarkably spacious accommodation, an abundance of original character features, a private front garden, a detached single garage, and the added benefit of planning permission for a substantial basement conversion.

This historic property was formally a Victorian mansion, later used as a private school and thoughtfully converted around 20 years ago. Set behind private gates and approached via a sweeping driveway, the manor is surrounded by rolling countryside while remaining just a short distance from Bishop’s Stortford. This characterful property retains many beautiful period features throughout, including high ceilings, large sash-style windows and a striking marble fireplace. Upon stepping inside, the entrance hallway is generous and welcoming, with a turned staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading through to the principal reception rooms.

The dining room is a superbly proportioned space with high ceilings, wooden flooring and a large window overlooking the garden. The sitting room is equally impressive, featuring a beautiful marble fireplace, fitted bookcases and a further front-facing window, creating a warm yet refined space to relax or entertain.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well sized and enjoys a range of bespoke wall and base units, solid wood work surfaces, a central island with granite worktop, and a range cooker supplied by Calor gas. There is a separate utility room and a walk-in pantry, providing excellent practical storage. A downstairs WC and access to the communal rear courtyard complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor continues to offer generous accommodation, with the primary bedroom being a spacious and elegant room, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, all well-proportioned, along with a family bathroom that serves the remaining rooms.

To the front of the property is a private garden, with a pathway leading to the front door and the remainder laid to lawn with mature shrubs and well-stocked borders. To the rear is a shared communal courtyard, centred around an attractive water feature, creating a peaceful outdoor setting. The property further benefits from allocated parking for two vehicles and a detached single garage.

A particularly exciting feature of this property is the granted planning permission for a substantial basement conversion, allowing for the creation of a cinema room, additional sitting room, kitchen and WC, offering huge scope to further enhance and personalise the home.
