6 bed detached house for sale

Bury Green, Little Hadham, Ware SG11

The Bury is a significant property dating back to the 16th century and is traditionally constructed with a heavy timber frame of oak or elm with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. There are later extensions to this family house which offers extensive character accommodation. The majority of the rooms are timbered, with views over the garden.
The rooms are set out over three floors and include an entrance hall, porch and cloakroom, three reception rooms, as well as a conservatory and a generous size office. A second hall leads to the kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of storage cupboards and an oil-fired aga and doors to the terrace and pool. Beyond the kitchen there is a family room with an office/study above. The house has an excellent utility room, a pantry and a cellar.
On the first and second floors there are six bedrooms served by three bath/shower rooms, two en suite. All bedrooms either have an en suite or a wash hand basin.
Garden and grounds

Outside, the grounds and outbuildings are notable and form an important part of this small country estate. The Bury lies in the pretty hamlet of Bury Green and is approached through a remote controlled five bar gate to a tarmacadam driveway which leads in turn to a four bay car port, providing garaging.
Adjoining and behind the car port, there is a large timber framed and weatherboarded barn probably dating from the early 19th century. The barn provides a remarkable entertaining area and, with the relevant consents, could provide additional accommodation.
Adjoining the barn there is a three-bedroom single storey cottage which has been renovated and provides very good accommodation including a sitting/dining room, kitchen, modern bathroom and three good size bedrooms.
The recreational facilities include a heated swimming pool which sits in a sheltered position just behind the house and has an extensive terrace and lovely views.
On the opposite side of the house there is a hard tennis court, which requires some work, and closer to the house there is a weatherboarded building housing a snooker room, gym and garden store. On the left-hand side of the driveway there is a paddock and an agricultural building with stables, a field shelter, manège and a chicken run.
The gardens are very well established with a terrace and a meadow and a pleasant walk amongst mature trees leads to a large pond. There is also a smaller pond closer to the house. In addition to the main entrance gate there is a gate to the paddock with historical access to the Green. To formalise this access, agreement would be required from the Parish council.
In all about 5.5 acres.
Within 200 metres of the house there is a field of about 11 acres in total, which could be available to purchase by separate negotiation.
