The origins of the house are believed to date back to the late 15th century when it was a manor house. The building has had many uses over the years including a village inn, before being refurbished as a home in 1939. Since that time, it has been owned by a prominent lawyer, a good friend of Winston Churchill, who is purported to have dined at the house frequently. The house is situated in a gently elevated position close to the River Rib on the edge of the thriving town of Buntingford and a short walk away from the High Street.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes an entrance lobby, grand drawing room with an inglenook fireplace, study, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and boiler room. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, an en suite and family bathroom. Outside, a offers off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a single garage. There is a well-established fully enclosed garden with seating areas, lawn and mature shrubs and flowers.
The photographs show the property when it was marketed in 2020, but since that time the house has been virtually re-built with repairs to the timbers, the plasterwork and flooring removed, wiring and plumbing installed and the building has been re-roofed. Additional photographs show the house as it is now, insulated but not plastered. The work has been done in conjunction with the Listed Building Department and includes high levels of insulation in the roof and walls. There is insufficient funding to complete the project, so the property is offered at a lower price to reflect the fact that although the structural work is complete, the kitchen and bathrooms need to be fitted and a heating system finished. There is currently a boiler.
A schedule of works done to date and still to be completed is available. It is unwise for the agents to provide an estimate on what it might cost to finish the project, as this will depend on a number of factors. It is also unlikely that a standard mortgage will be available for such a property, but other funding may be available.
This is an unusual opportunity to purchase a significant and well-proportioned building in a lovely location. When the project is complete and the new owners move in, they can sure that the house will require minimum maintenance and running costs will reflect the very high levels of insulation, compared with similar older Listed buildings. Purchasers will also have the opportunity to complete and decorate the property to their own taste and style.
Viewings strictly by appointment.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on October 28, 2022

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
