4 bed detached house for sale

Astonbury Manor, Aston, Hertfordshire SG2

Set within the highly regarded Hertfordshire estate of Aston Bury Manor, this exceptional barn conversion occupies approximately 17 acres of beautifully maintained private grounds, exclusively for residents’ use. The grounds include formal and walled gardens, tranquil lakes and a tennis court, creating an idyllic and private setting that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday.

The property itself is a beautifully presented barn conversion, offering an abundance of charm and character throughout, complemented by the rare advantage of a separate self-contained annexe. Architectural features include vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and brick-built fireplaces, all combining to create a home of genuine warmth and individuality. Further benefitting from no onward chain, this is a true hidden gem and an internal viewing comes highly recommended.

The accommodation is centred around a grand entrance hall, flooded with natural light and providing access to all principal rooms. The impressive 28ft dual-aspect living room forms the heart of the home, with a striking fireplace as its focal point. There is also a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room, a ground-floor shower room and a further versatile reception room or fourth bedroom.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, along with a further family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Separate Annexe:
An additional highlight of the property is the independent annexe, providing flexible and spacious accommodation ideal for self-contained living, guest space or a home office environment.

Externally, the property is further enhanced by two garage spaces, completing this highly attractive and unique offering.
