Aspenden, Buntingford, Hertfordshire SG9

4 Aspenden House is a four-bedroom, three storey, Victorian residence set in four acres of communal gardens and is one of five luxury properties. Aspenden Village is only a fifteen minutes’ walk from Buntingford High Street.

Approached via a sweeping driveway and part of what use to be a large Victorian house which was built in 1856 for Sir Henry Lushington II, the property has many original Victorian features including high ceilings, cornicing and panelling throughout and sits in gardens of approximately four acres which also benefits from the use of tennis courts.

The imposing entrance to the house is via double doors into the entrance porch which benefits from a utility room, then through another set of glazed French doors into the impressive inner hall which has wood panelling throughout, Victorian style high ceilings and the original stairwell leading to the first and second floor. There is a downstairs cloakroom and two further doors to the back of the house, one entering the kitchen/breakfast room, and the other into the lounge. The kitchen itself needs some modernisation and consists of eye and base units, double oven, hob, dishwasher and two fridges.

The breakfast/dining area has a double-glazed window to the rear aspect and stained-glass door leading to the rear private terrace. The lounge can be approached via the inner hallway or via the kitchen and has large, double-glazed bay window overlooking the rear gardens and has original cornicing and mouldings.

Leading up to the first floor, there is a spacious first floor landing which has access to two large double bedrooms, both with en-suite and both with fitted wardrobes and overlooking the gardens to the rear. The principal bedroom has a walk-in dresser and spans the depth of the house with ensuite overlooking the front aspect and tennis courts.

On the second floor, there is bedroom four/office with a separate shower room and a further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and views over the rear gardens and farmland.

The house stands in approx. 4 acres of gardens and benefits from two parking spaces and a garage with an extra visitor space. The tennis courts are located to the front of the property alongside the stunning communal gardens, small orchard area and allotments. There is a private terrace which spans the width of the property and overlooks the garden to the rear and is south-west facing.

Agent notes: Maintenance of the grounds is looked after by the gardener and is covered by a service charge for the property. The Residents Association charge is approx. £275.00 p.c.m which covers garden maintenance and communal costs. The fee does include £100.00 p.c.m for a fund to repair/resurface the tennis court.
