Woodgate Barn is an exceptional conversion of former farm buildings, combining original character with contemporary finishes and an impressive range of eco features. Offering just under 4,400 sq ft (STS) of accommodation, the house has been finished with considerable attention to detail, retaining original materials wherever possible and complemented by bespoke joinery, quality flooring, and carefully chosen finishes. Inside, the main living areas combine character with real wow factor. The bespoke kitchen flows into a dramatic double-height living space with exposed timbers and a striking spiral staircase rising to a galleried landing. A substantial main reception room has a similarly impressive sense of scale, with a vaulted ceiling, full-height glazing and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, with generous space for dining or a large games table. The five/six double bedrooms include a spacious principal suite with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside. Outside, the former barn buildings frame an expansive lawned garden and terrace, with open countryside beyond, creating an outstanding sense of privacy and tranquillity. A large workshop offers scope for leisure or business use, or potential conversion to a separate annexe, subject to planning. A newly built triple garage has 3x10ft Horman electric doors and generous driveway provide ample parking. Despite its peaceful rural setting, Woodgate Barn is only six miles from the market town of Newark, which offers excellent road links and fast rail services to London. Seller Insights We converted the barn buildings into a family home in 2010. Our vision was to create a farmstead in the country – somewhere we could raise our children and enjoy time with family and friends, surrounded by beautiful countryside. We worked with an excellent local builder to bring that vision to life. A great deal of thought and investment went into achieving a high-quality finish throughout, from the bespoke kitchen and flooring to the oak doors and joinery. Sustainability was also very important to us, so we've installed solar panels, rainwater harvesting and a new air-source heat pump, which makes the house incredibly economical to heat. The barn is also very well insulated, so it stays wonderfully cosy through the winter. At the same time, we've retained original features wherever possible, including the timbers – some of which are more than 200 years old. The house has a spacious feel, which has been ideal for both family life and entertaining. The main reception room is a fantastic place to play pool, entertain friends or simply relax in front of the fire. It opens directly onto the garden, where there's plenty of room for children to run around, play football or throw a frisbee, as well as for al fresco dining and parties. We've hosted many celebrations here, including a special birthday celebration with more than 100 guests, but it works just as well for smaller gatherings. With most of the accommodation on the ground floor, the layout works particularly well for families and could also suit multigenerational living. All the bedrooms have lovely views, while the lawns outside are secure for children and pets. The house is ready to move into, but there's also plenty of scope for the new owners to make it their own and develop it further. The workshop, for example, could work equally well as a gym or home office, or potentially be converted into separate accommodation, subject to planning.

Hebe House, Lytham St Annes Hebe House is a beautifully restored Arts and Crafts detached residence, positioned close to St Annes Square and within easy reach of Lytham. Set back from the road and framed by mature trees, established borders and generous gardens, the home has a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining perfectly placed for everything this part of the Fylde Coast has to offer. Lytham St Annes continues to be one of the most desirable coastal locations in the North West, loved for its blend of elegant period architecture, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, golf courses and coastal walks. From the charm of St Annes Square and the seafront to the restaurants, boutiques and village atmosphere of Lytham, this is a location that offers an exceptional lifestyle as well as everyday convenience. Carefully refurbished with great respect for its original character, Hebe House balances period craftsmanship with relaxed modern living. Decorative timber elevations, original leaded windows, oak panelling, stained glass and elegant reception rooms give the house its personality, while the open-plan kitchen, landscaped gardens, extensive terrace and outdoor pool make it a home designed to be enjoyed. Porch The entrance begins with a welcoming porch, finished with attractive tiled flooring and offering a calm arrival into the house. It creates a natural pause before stepping through into the main hallway. Entrance Hall The hallway is one of the defining features of the home. Original panelled walls, a beautiful staircase and a wonderful sense of proportion set the tone immediately. It is bright, elegant and full of character, giving a true first impression of the craftsmanship found throughout the house. Lounge The principal lounge is a superb reception room, filled with natural light from the leaded bay window to the front and further coloured glass leaded windows. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an easy connection between the house and the outside space. A handsome stone fireplace, picture rails and retained period detailing make this a refined yet comfortable room for everyday living and entertaining. Sitting Room A second generous reception room sits to the front of the house, offering a slightly more intimate setting. The impressive leaded bay window, original side windows, decorative ceiling and tiled-inset fireplace all add to the charm. It is a room that could work beautifully as a formal sitting room, music room or evening lounge. Study The study is a lovely, quieter space with a leaded box window to the side. It would make an excellent home office, library or reading room, positioned away from the main living areas while still feeling very much connected to the house. Inner Hallway The inner hallway is practical and well planned, with built-in storage that supports the day-to-day running of the home without interrupting the period feel of the main entrance spaces. Guest Cloaks The ground floor cloakroom is finished in a period-inspired style, with a wash hand basin and WC, tiled flooring and a side window. It is neatly positioned for guests and everyday use. Kitchen/Diner The kitchen and dining space is a major feature of the home. Contemporary cabinetry, quartz worktops and integrated appliances sit comfortably within a bright, open-plan layout designed for family life and entertaining. There is room to cook, dine and gather, with windows to the side and rear bringing in plenty of natural light. Two sets of double doors open straight out onto the rear garden and porcelain-tiled terrace, making this space feel particularly connected to the outdoors. In the warmer months, it becomes an effortless extension of the garden, perfect for relaxed lunches, evening drinks and family occasions. First Floor Landing The landing continues the sense of character, with an original stained glass leaded window overlooking the rear. It is a bright and attractive space that links the bedrooms beautifully. Principal Bedroom Suite The principal bedroom is an impressive private suite, enjoying views over the rear garden and additional light from side windows. It is a calm and generous room with lovely period detailing, including picture rails and leaded windows. A concealed walk-in wardrobe adds a sense of luxury and practicality, while the en-suite shower room completes the suite. Principal En-suite The en-suite is stylishly appointed with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. Fully tiled walls, a heated towel rail and a front leaded window give the room a clean, polished finish while remaining in keeping with the quality of the house. Bedroom Two The second bedroom is another excellent double room, positioned to the front of the property. Lead-effect glazing, side leaded windows, fitted wardrobes and period detailing make this a particularly attractive guest or family bedroom. Bedroom Three Bedroom three is a well-proportioned double bedroom overlooking the rear. It offers flexibility as a child’s bedroom, guest room or additional working space, depending on the needs of the next owner. Bedroom Four The fourth bedroom is also a comfortable double, with a side-facing window and a pleasant sense of light. Its proportions make it suitable for family use, guests or a dedicated dressing room if required. Family Bathroom The family bathroom has been finished to an excellent standard, with a bath, wash hand basin and WC. Fully tiled walls, feature lighting, tiled flooring and a heated towel rail give it a smart and contemporary feel. Gardens, Terrace & Outdoor Pool The outside space is one of the great strengths of Hebe House. To the front, mature planting, established borders and a sweeping in-and-out driveway create an impressive and private approach, with ample off-road parking and access to the garage. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped, with a large porcelain-tiled terrace leading from the kitchen and dining space. This area has been designed for outdoor living, with space to lounge, dine and entertain in comfort. Beyond the terrace, the garden softens into lawn, framed by mature trees and well-stocked borders. The outdoor swimming pool adds something genuinely special, creating a private leisure setting that feels ideal for family summers, entertaining and relaxed coastal living. Garage / Gym The brick-built garage is currently used as a gym, with bi-fold doors opening the space up beautifully. It also includes a shower, overhead storage, the central heating boiler and swimming pool pump heater, making it a highly practical addition to the home. Hebe House is a home that feels both established and beautifully renewed; a rare Arts and Crafts residence that offers character, privacy and genuine lifestyle appeal in equal measure. From its elegant interiors and mature gardens to the outdoor pool and close proximity to St Annes, Lytham and the coastline, this is a property that delivers far more than a place to live. It offers a way of life.

A substantial detached five-bedroom house in one of Loughton's more prestigious areas. Originally built in 1996, this well-maintained house occupies one of the largest plots on a highly regarded architect-designed and gated development and is in a prime position overlooking the central green and pond and backing onto open fields, providing privacy and seclusion. The house has great external appeal with its fascinating roof lines, chimneystack, mellow brickwork with decorative quoins, ornate cornicing and a Palladian style pillared entrance and is approached via a driveway leading to the double garage and bordered by a front lawn and high hedging. The front door opens into a welcoming hallway with a storage cupboard, cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. Just inside the door is a study that is ideally positioned for anyone working from home as it provides easy access to business visitors while opposite is a sophisticated bespoke library designed by Clive Christian that could also make an excellent dining room for more formal occasions. There is an elegant and bright dual aspect sitting room featuring full height windows and a cast iron fireplace as an attractive focal point, while the dual aspect family room has French doors to the terrace and is just the place to relax or enjoy a game with the children. A large kitchen/breakfast room has access to the garage and utility room and includes tiled flooring, panelled walls and shaker style units housing a hob, fridge freezer and space for a dishwasher, while still leaving room for a large dining table. The first floor galleried landing has a large airing cupboard and access to the bathroom with a bath, separate shower and a vanity basin with half height cupboards. There are five double bedrooms with fitted cupboards including two with wood flooring. Three of these bedrooms have stunning views over the surrounding fields and countryside while the other two offer views over the green and the pond. The spacious dual aspect second bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and the attractive well-proportioned principal bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom that has a bath, separate shower and vanity basin. The charming and secluded rear garden includes a terrace for al fresco dining and a particularly large lawn ideal for a game of cricket or football. This is interspersed and surrounded by trees and shrubs and backs onto farmland. What the Owner says: 'We bought this property from new some 30 years ago as we loved this particular house and also the surroundings which, were designed to reflect the character of a traditional English village, with individually styled homes arranged around landscaped greens and communal spaces, creating a unique and established setting. Also, as it is in a cul-de-sac and a gated community, it is very secure, as well as being safe for children and pets. The security aspect has been particularly important as we are often away so it can be of benefit to those with a lock-up-and-go lifestyle. It is also great to be so close to the 6000 acres of Epping Forest where we can go for walks or cycle rides and feel we are in the country, yet we are not far from the centre of the town. Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops as well as sports and entertainment including golf courses and the Loughton Leisure Centre with an indoor swimming pool. There is a wide selection of schools in the area including Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, both rated Outstanding by Ofsted, as well as good independent schools. The town is on the Underground's Central Line that can whisk you to Stratford in 20 minutes and Liverpool Street in about half an hour, so is ideal for commuters wanting to travel to the City or the West End. As far as road travel is concerned it is only a short distance to the M11 for the M25 as well as access to Stansted, Heathrow and Cambridge.'

Approached along a quiet stretch of Barrowden Road and set high above the Welland Valley, The Windmill is one of those rare Rutland landmarks that is instantly recognisable from afar yet unexpectedly comfortable and practical once inside its gates. Combining a Grade II listed four storey windmill with a substantial modern brick house and around fifteen acres of gardens, pasture and woodland, the property brings together architectural character, flexible living space and an established equestrian setup within a single coherent holding. The position is central to its appeal. From the house and windmill there are wide views across open countryside towards Stamford, Rutland Water and the surrounding villages of the Welland Valley, while mature planting and shelter belts around the immediate garden create a surprisingly private and protected domestic setting close to the house itself. It is a property that balances exposure and outlook with enclosure and comfort in a way that is difficult to achieve in open countryside locations. Although the windmill forms the visual centrepiece, the principal living accommodation sits within the adjoining brick-built house constructed in 1997 and designed to work as a practical family home. The two structures connect at ground floor level and again externally at first floor via balconies, allowing them either to operate as a single integrated residence or as two clearly defined but related living environments. Inside the house the arrangement is generous and adaptable, with four reception rooms providing a range of settings for daily life. The kitchen and informal sitting area form the natural centre of activity and benefit from morning light through recently installed powder coated aluminium windows and doors. These were replaced throughout the house in 2023 and bring both improved performance and reduced maintenance requirements. The kitchen itself has been extended in its layout since the present owner’s arrival and now works as a sociable everyday space as well as a practical working environment, with underfloor heating continuing through the adjoining snug area. Beyond this core living space there is a separate ground floor sitting room currently arranged as a television room, together with a further reception room used as a study capable of accommodating multiple workstations. A gym positioned adjacent to the integral garage adds another practical and versatile element to the ground floor layout. A particularly striking feature of the house is the large first floor sitting room which opens onto balconies through full height glazed doors and takes full advantage of the long southerly views across the valley. This elevated reception space gives the house an additional dimension and allows the landscape setting to become part of the experience of living here. Across the upper floor the bedroom accommodation is arranged around a principal suite and guest suite each with their own en suite facilities, together with two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The layout provides a balance between privacy and connection that works equally well for family occupation or visiting guests. Adjoining the house, the four-storey windmill provides a second independent living environment that significantly extends the flexibility of the property. Dating originally from the eighteenth century and rebuilt from the ground up in 1968 as a reconstruction of the earlier windmill, the structure remains one of the defining features of the local skyline. Although its internal milling machinery was removed when it was converted to residential use, the windmill retains its distinctive external form complete with sails, which are maintained and rotated periodically to ensure their long-term stability. Arranged as a self-contained two-bedroom cottage, the windmill has historically been used both as family accommodation and as a holiday let. More recently it has been made available selectively for short-term letting and continues to offer potential either as guest accommodation, income producing space or multigenerational living depending on requirements. A particularly distinctive feature of the windmill interior is the recently installed handmade kitchen which follows the natural curve of the structure itself and includes a curved central table designed specifically for the space. It reflects the unusual geometry of the building and reinforces the sense that this is a place shaped around its architecture rather than adapted to fit it. Outside, the grounds extend to approximately fifteen acres arranged in a ring-fenced block surrounding the house and windmill. Around six thousand native trees were planted by previous owners to create an arboretum style landscape that now forms an established framework of shelter belts, orchard planting and specimen trees across the holding. Within this setting the immediate gardens around the house include an extensive timber decked entertaining terrace connected directly to the dining room and designed as a principal outdoor social space overlooking the gardens, together with a circular sunken garden planted with fruit trees and soft fruit and a productive vegetable garden that continues to be actively cultivated. Beyond the formal gardens the land opens into pasture divided into dedicated paddocks which have been significantly enhanced during the present ownership. Three paddocks now provide structured grazing rotation and are equipped with independent water supplies and electric fencing, supported by a professionally constructed outdoor manège measuring approximately 22 x 40 metres and installed with full drainage. Additional stable buildings have also been introduced so that the existing block now includes multiple stables together with tack and storage space. A separate access track has been formed to the rear stable yard allowing practical movement of horses and equipment without affecting the domestic garden setting. In addition to the principal approach drive, two further access points are available directly from adopted roads, providing useful alternative entry to the land and equestrian areas. Together these improvements mean the land now supports genuine equestrian use rather than simply providing additional acreage. There is also flexibility within the current arrangements for the stables and grazing to be let independently if desired, creating potential for either shared use or supplementary income. At the eastern side of the holding the front meadow is managed as a wildflower area and cut periodically for hay, maintaining its ecological character while ensuring it remains productive. To the west lies a further two acre woodland area which adds variety and shelter to the landscape and contributes to the overall sense of scale and privacy across the property. Energy performance has also been addressed through the installation of photovoltaic panels together with battery storage systems, helping to reduce reliance on grid electricity and supporting efficient day to day running of the house. An electric vehicle charging point is also installed. Despite its rural character the location remains well connected. Morcott and Barrowden both offer active village communities with local amenities including shop, surgery and public house, while the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford provide a wider range of schooling, shopping and cultural facilities within easy reach. Road links via the A47, A43 and A1 connect efficiently to the regional network and rail services from Peterborough offer journey times to London Kings Cross from around forty five minutes. Rutland Water lies nearby to the north and provides opportunities for sailing, walking and cycling, reinforcing the strong relationship between the property and its wider landscape setting. Taken as a whole, The Windmill offers a combination that is rarely available within a single holding. The presence of a landmark historic structure, a substantial and adaptable modern house, established equestrian infrastructure and around fifteen acres of landscaped grounds creates a property capable of supporting a wide range of lifestyles. Whether used primarily as a family house with guest accommodation, a multigenerational home, an equestrian base or a combination of all three, it is a setting that balances individuality with practicality and visibility with privacy in equal measure.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Equestrian Facilities Abnalls Farm presents a beautifully configured and comprehensively equipped equestrian offering, designed to support both leisure and more serious pursuits. A full size manège is positioned prominently within the grounds, thoughtfully enclosed and orientated to maximise privacy while enjoying open views across the surrounding landscape.

A generous Dutch barn delivers extensive covered storage, ideal for machinery, bedding and hay, ensuring the efficient day to day management of the holding. The paddocks extend to approximately seven acres in total, wrapping neatly around the property to create a secure, well arranged and highly functional equestrian environment. Gardens The gardens of Abnalls Farm have been thoughtfully designed to provide a series of distinct outdoor spaces. The enclosed courtyard garden that gives way to the principal residence unfolds with a gently curving brick pathway guiding you through carefully curated borders, filled with seasonal colour, textured planting and mature shrubs. Ornamental features and established trees enhance the sense of maturity within this space. A further courtyard style garden is directly accessible via The Shed, finished with gravel underfoot, featuring raised circular beds, planted with a range of herbs.

SELLERS INSIGHT One of the main attractions of Orchard Barn, apart from its beautiful location with far reaching views, was the potential we could see in how the property would allow us flexibility to provide for multi-generational living. We created an internal annexe for our Mother, with its own lounge/kitchen area, plus a young adult space for our eldest with seating area and en suite. In addition, we could see the potential for additional income, where we converted the external annexe as a holiday let. All handled via Cottages.com - it could not be easier! To keep the whole family active, as well as the many walks in the area, we re-instated the tennis court and renovated the swimming pool, which being heated, enables its use for longer periods whatever the weather. With our youngest now at University and Mother no longer with us, we feel that the time is right for us to move on and give others an opportunity to appreciate this beautiful home. STEP INSIDE This carefully converted barn was designed to create a flexible living space that allows you to spread out and have your own space for living and working in.

An additional double bedroom has an adjoining room that could be a dressing room or additional bedroom if required. It also has its own bathroom.

The long private driveway immediately creates a wonderful sense of seclusion before you arrive at the farmhouse with its generous parking and turning areas. The combination of character lifestyle that is on offer within the main house and the former Shippen, along with the land and various outbuildings, makes Badslake particularly appealing to those looking for a lifestyle property with equestrian facilities, and multigenerational living or simply plenty of space, in a peaceful rural environment. The Farmhouse The farmhouse itself is an attractive and substantial period home we understand to be of cobb and stone construction under a slate roof, providing approximately 3,350 sq. Ft of accommodation over two floors. Character features can be found throughout, including exposed timbers, stonework, Marland brick floors and impressive fireplaces, while the generous proportions provide excellent space to enjoy family life without necessarily having to be on top of each other. On the ground floor, the accommodation is centred around a spacious double aspect kitchen/breakfast room, complete with Aga, that creates a natural heart to the home and sets the tone for the rest of the accommodation that is on offer elsewhere in the house. The sitting room and family room sit alongside one another, both having fireplaces with log burners to cosy up to in the colder months of the year. Off the family room and overlooking the approach to the farm is a fine 23’ garden room that our clients use as a dining room that should comfortably sit 12 or more as required and it must be a lovely environment for some lively evening entertaining, or lunch time get togethers as it is bathed in sunlight through the mid morning to mid afternoon. On the other side of the kitchen an inner hall leads to the family room, again with log burner and leading off is another garden room, with log burner, which our client uses as an office overlooking the garden on the eastern side which also means they are away from the daily household activities going on around. At the rear of the farmhouse is a study/gym, featuring an attractive local Marland brick floor, as well as a cloakroom and a generous sized utility room, providing ample appliance space and direct access out to the garden. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms providing excellent accommodation for a larger family or visiting guests. There are also two big bathrooms, together with useful landing and storage areas. The Annexe Away from the main farmhouse, the former Shippen has been thoughtfully converted to provide characterful and versatile additional accommodation. Ideal for extended family, dependent relatives or visiting guests, it also offers excellent potential as a separate work from home space. The ground floor comprises a generous sitting room with log burner, a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of units and appliance space, a double bedroom, a contemporary styled wet room and at the front a sun trap conservatory/garden room looking back towards the farmhouse and up to the fields beyond. A staircase rises to a substantial former attic that is being used as an occasional sleeping area and provides a highly useful and adaptable additional space. Outbuildings, Stables & Barns A traditional cobb barn stands opposite the farmhouse and although it has lapsed for conversion, provides a terrific storage/workshop with storeroom on one side and stables attached at the rear. The other buildings include an impressive 44’ tractor barn providing substantial storage for machinery and vehicles, an animal pen, games room and large wood store with plenty of space for splitting logs. There is extensive parking and turning space around the buildings, while the private driveway provides access through the grounds to the main property. Paddocks There are three paddocks, two together culminating near the small lake. The third is on the inner curve of the drive linked to the stables via a ‘race’ providing ideal turn out for horse and ponies. Gardens & Grounds Wandering through these is like being in your own park with a swathe of lawn dotted with young trees leading down to the small lake which has its own island in the middle. There are productive orchards with fruit trees including pears and apples, both eaters and cookers. Adjoining the rear of the house is a large lawn and at the front is a sun trap terrace ideal for a quiet contemplation and listening to the sounds of nature all around. The Shippen has its own garden having lawn at the front and a terrace at the back which is an ideal for some al fresco entertaining.

Lamsden House is a substantial and beautifully considered country residence, comprehensively renovated in 2021 to create a home that combines traditional rural character with exceptional modern comfort, technology and infrastructure.  The 2021 renovation was extensive, incorporating a ground-floor extension, new windows throughout and newly appointed bathrooms, together with significant investment in the property’s heating, energy and electrical systems. The result is a home that has been thoughtfully upgraded not simply cosmetically, but fundamentally, with an emphasis on quality, efficiency and long-term resilience.  The property benefits from an existing ground source heat pump, which was extended as part of the works and is covered by a new warranty. This provides underfloor heating to the ground floor, with radiators serving the upper floors, creating an efficient and highly comfortable heating system throughout the house.  Energy generation has also been carefully considered. There are two separate solar installations: panels positioned above the top-floor office generate power for the domestic hot water, while the larger array on the outbuildings generates electricity for the house and charges the property’s battery storage. This has been complemented by a three-phase electricity supply, providing the capacity to comfortably support modern demands including the hot tub, EV charging and battery storage, with ample provision should further air conditioning be introduced in the future. In short, Lamsden House has been upgraded with the future in mind — offering the rare combination of a prestigious country setting with sophisticated, energy-conscious infrastructure already in place.  As is appropriate for a rural property, Lamsden House operates its own private sewage treatment system, a Klargester, which is shared with the neighbouring Dairy Barn on an agreed cost-sharing basis. The system has recently been upgraded with a new motor.  Technology and entertainment have also been discreetly integrated into the house, including ceiling-mounted speakers within the dining room, 3 reception rooms and primary bedroom and bathroom, complementing the considered specification throughout.  The full details of the accommodation, grounds, outbuildings and specification will follow, but taken as a whole, the scale of the 2021 renovation, the quality of the infrastructure and the investment in renewable energy and future-proofing are central to understanding Lamsden House as an aspirational country property. Step Inside The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with generous space for coats and a stylish cloakroom tiled with striking aqua blue vertical tiles and a sink set on a marble worktop. From here, a further door leads into a spacious central lobby, providing an immediate sense of the flexibility and scale of the house, with the principal rooms arranged naturally around it.  Overlooking the front driveway is a versatile reception room, currently used as a home office with built in desk space, wooden shutters on the windows and carpeted floor.  Alongside a further reception room which has most recently served as a playroom has beautiful wallpaper, carpets and a large window. Both rooms offer considerable flexibility and could readily be adapted to suit the individual requirements of the next owners.    Beyond the lobby, sliding pocket wooden doors open into the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space — undoubtedly the heart of Lamsden House.  This is a truly breathtaking room, spanning almost the entire width of the house and designed to make the most of its remarkable rural setting. A wall of expansive double-glazing draws the garden and surrounding landscape into the house, with far-reaching views extending towards the boundary and across the nine-acre paddock. The glazing has been solar-treated to reduce glare while retaining the extraordinary sense of light and connection with the outdoors. The kitchen is a beautifully considered blend of timeless, traditional styling and contemporary functionality, designed to be both visually striking and exceptionally practical.  Vivid teal-green cabinetry provides a distinctive splash of colour, beautifully complemented by elegant quartz worktops. The substantial central island forms the focal point of the room, with a sophisticated waterfall-edge finish creating a seamless, sculptural effect. Above it, three statement pendant lights illuminate the generous preparation and entertaining space.  Designed with sociable family living in mind, the island comfortably accommodates four bar stools and incorporates extensive storage, deep drawers, a secondary sink and a ceramic hob with integrated extractor. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped; a Quooker hot water tap, a double butler sink, two integrated dishwashers, two bin stores, a breakfast station style cupboard with full-height fridges on either side, two electric ovens with warming drawers beneath, a microwave, a built-in coffee machine, a pull-out pantry cupboard and a substantial wine fridge.  Large-format porcelain floor tiles provide a sleek, contemporary finish while being non-porous and highly practical for everyday family life.  More than simply a beautifully appointed kitchen, this is a space designed to be lived in — the natural heart of the house and an ideal setting for everything from relaxed family breakfasts to entertaining friends. Immediately adjoining the kitchen is a generous and highly practical utility room, fitted with a combination of under-counter and wall-mounted storage, a double sink, bin cupboard, two full-height integrated freezers, washing machine and tumble dryer. Open shelving offers perfect shoe storage, and a corner cupboard hides the boiler and manifold away.  There is an electric opening roof light with rain sensor, providing natural light, ventilation and automatically closing when rain is detected.  A rear door provides direct access to the garden, adding further practicality and making the utility room particularly well suited to country living, muddy boots, dogs and outdoor entertaining. The open-plan space has been cleverly zoned to create distinct areas for dining, relaxing and entertaining without compromising the impressive sense of volume and continuity. Directly opposite the kitchen is a dedicated dining area, comfortably accommodating a large dining table beneath two striking pendant lights.  Beyond this is a more informal family area, framed by an exposed brick wall with provision for a wall-mounted television — an inviting space in which to relax.  In this corner of the room, the glazed cantilivered sliding doors open wide during the warmer months, extending the living space onto the patio and creating an exceptional setting for long lunches, summer suppers and relaxed al fresco entertaining.  At the other side of this room, a further seating area is subtly defined by beautiful herringbone timber flooring. From here, the views become particularly compelling, taking in the fruit orchard and expansive paddock beyond. It is a wonderful spot from which to enjoy the changing seasons and, in the evening, a glass of wine as the sun sets over the surrounding countryside.  Adding an unexpected touch of theatre, a sunken spiral wine cellar sits within the open-plan space, accessed via an electric safety-glass hatch. Further informal seating is incorporated at the kitchen peninsula, reinforcing the room's natural role as a space for gathering and entertaining.  Double doors lead from this exceptional entertaining space into a more intimate and traditional reception room. The cosy lounge has a handsome wood-burning stove as its focal point, set against a striking turquoise tiled fireplace. The vivid stove and contemporary colour palette bring a fresh, individual character to the room, while the wooden flooring and generous proportions retain a sense of warmth and comfort.  A large picture window frames views across the garden and orchard, creating another beautiful connection with the surrounding landscape.  Glazed double doors lead back through to the central lobby, where floor to ceiling cupboards house the ‘comms’ equipment and offer coat storage opposite another useful understairs cupboard.  Climbing the carpeted staircase you can’t help but admire the stunning glass pendant light hanging in front of the large window, giving this staircase a light and luxurious feel. The first floor opens onto an impressive, generously proportioned landing from which the principal bedrooms and family accommodation are arranged.  The first bedroom is a beautifully presented double room with a private en-suite shower room and a substantial walk-in wardrobe. Two floor-to-ceiling picture windows provide exceptional views across the surrounding countryside, filling the room with natural light and making the most of its elevated position.  The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive. Generously proportioned and complemented by a walk-in wardrobe, it has been designed as a luxurious private retreat. The en-suite shower room is finished in striking marble-effect large-format tiles, with sophisticated black sanitaryware, twin vanity basins and a substantial double shower which also incorporates a steam-room function.  Within the bedroom itself, fitted dressing and storage furniture combines with a characterful feature wall behind the bed. However, it is the extraordinary floor-to-ceiling picture window that provides the defining feature. With uninterrupted views across the landscape, it creates an almost immersive relationship with the countryside beyond and gives the room an exceptional sense of peace and privacy.  Across the landing is the generous family bathroom, centred around a substantial inset bath positioned beneath the window. Twin basins, two heated towel rails and a separate double shower cubicle complete the well-appointed space.  Two further double bedrooms are positioned nearby, offering excellent accommodation for children, family or guests.  A second staircase, illuminated by wall lighting, continues upwards to the top floor. The second floor provides a further level of highly versatile accommodation and is one of the features that gives Lamsden House such flexibility for modern family life.  The first room is a well-proportioned double bedroom, with Velux windows overlooking the rear garden and useful storage incorporated within the eaves.  The landing itself makes excellent use of the roof space, with additional built-in storage cupboards, before leading to a shared shower room and a further double bedroom, again enjoying Velux windows with views over the garden.  The third room on this level has most recently been used as an office, but its generous proportions make it suitable for a wide variety of uses.  This entire floor could be configured as a self-contained area for a live-in nanny or housekeeper, dedicated accommodation for older children and their friends, a substantial home-working environment or even offices for a business run from home. Equally, it can simply provide an additional private wing for family and guests.  The versatility of this upper level, combined with the generous accommodation throughout the principal floors, makes Lamsden House particularly well suited to modern country living — offering space not only for everyday family life, but also for entertaining, working from home and accommodating guests in complete comfort. Step Outside Lamsden House is approached via High Elms Lane, with a shared driveway serving a small number of neighbouring properties and impressive electric gates marking the entrance to the drive. The attractive brick-paved driveway provides a smart and low-maintenance approach, with ample parking for up to six vehicles.  The substantial double garage benefits from an EV charging point, while an external staircase leads to a versatile room above. Fully insulated and equipped with power, lighting, fast internet, carpet and built-in storage, this excellent additional space lends itself equally well to a home gym, private office, teenage den or simply generous additional storage. Opposite the garage is a substantial range of stables, with solar panels installed above. A corner door opens into a generous tack room, currently used for garden equipment and the mower, with both power and lighting. Beyond this are two further double garages, currently used for storage, one of which houses the batteries serving the property's solar panel system. Additional solar panels are discreetly positioned on the roof of the main house, above the top-floor office.  Rounding the stables, an impressive aluminium greenhouse immediately catches the eye. Constructed in 2020 in a traditional style, it has been thoughtfully designed with a brick floor, raised beds and bespoke shelving, together with lighting, power and a water supply — an ideal space for the keen gardener.  From the greenhouse, broad brick paving gives way to a wide concrete path, leading through the grounds past a charming orchard of established fruit trees. Beyond this is a dedicated chicken area, securely enclosed with timber and wire fencing. The fox-proof coop sits on a solid concrete base, creating a practical and secure environment for keeping poultry. As the gardens open out behind the house, the setting becomes truly captivating. The expansive view across the meadow and down the gently sloping land is one of the defining features of Lamsden House, with approximately 8.2 acres extending towards the hedge line and uninterrupted rural views beyond, across rolling fields rising towards the surrounding woodland.  Along the rear elevation, large-format patio tiles create an elegant entertaining terrace, leading beneath a striking aluminium pergola. Its electric louvred roof provides effortless control over sunshine and shade, while blinds to lall twothree sides allow the space to be enjoyed in a variety of weather conditions. It is an exceptional setting for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the warmer months, with  heaters and speakers integrated into the top of the pergola.  At the corner of the terrace is a handsome brick-built, wood-fired oven and outdoor kitchen, complete with generous work surfaces and electrical sockets. The path then narrows along the side of the house, leading to the rear entrance from the utility room, where both hot and cold water taps are conveniently provided. A discreet pedestrian gate at the far end provides access to the shared driveway.  This side of the garden has been designed with relaxation and family enjoyment very much in mind. A substantial timber deck houses a hot tub beneath an attractive wooden gazebo, with built-in steps surrounding the tub and integrated lighting and power sockets. The hot tub, which has been regularly serviced, has recently benefited from new head cushions and a new cover.  The children's play area is particularly appealing, with a sunken trampoline seamlessly integrated into the lawn, together with a wooden swing and slide set. Positioned to overlook the meadow, it provides a wonderful space for children to play while enjoying the sense of freedom and openness that characterises the grounds.  Set back behind wooden fences is the klargester which serves the house and a neighbouring property.  The principal meadow is predominantly laid to grass and is designated for agricultural use only. The land has previously benefited from planning permission for a range of stables. The current owners have an informal arrangement with a local farmer, who occasionally grazes sheep on the meadow in return for maintaining the ditches and hedgerows, helping to preserve the attractive rural character of this exceptional setting. Location  The property is set in a rural location on the outskirts of Watton at Stone where there is a primary school, train station, village pubs, supermarket, bakery and garden centre.  The property is 1.3 miles to centre of the village, where there is a local train station taking you into London.  Its 6 miles to Hertford North station and 6 miles to Stevenage station. The area is well known for fantastic schooling found throughout the surrounding area, with Heath Mount 2.3 miles away, Sherrardswood School and St Edmunds College are both 7 miles away.   Local Authority: East Herts DC 01279 655261.Council Tax Band G approximately £4,091.30 per year Vacant possession EPC: D
