5 bedroom equestrian property for sale

A substantial family home with detached, listed barn set in around 3 acres. Set in an exclusive semi rural hamlet within 5.5 miles of Bishops Stortford town centre.

Description

Ebury Lodge is set behind an electronic five bar gate leading onto a gravelled parking area in front of the house, garage and thatched barn.

The spacious reception hallway is part galleried with the landing above. From here, there is access to the guest cloakroom and three principal reception rooms - the dining room, sitting room and lounge, all of which are of a good size. Just off the sitting room there is a study, which in turn opens onto the garage.

The kitchen / dining room is well fitted out and leads to a sizeable utility room and pantry. A lobby with an additional cloakroom opens onto the courtyard pool area.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms - the main bedrooms suite having a sumptuous en suite bathroom with separate shower room, the other bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.

The first floor has potential to be reconfigured, perhaps utilising some of the landing, creating more bedroom space, if needed.

On the outside, the gardens are laid out in a parkland style providing much interest, with a selection of mature shrubs and trees dotted around a large pond and the lawns. A gate leads onto an additional paddock of around 1.25 acres, which has a stable block and its own access off Westland Green.

The Thatched Barn is Grade II* listed and forms the frontage of the house and has much historical interest. This space offers scope for conversion into an annex, outdoor party room or maybe even a home working space - subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents.

Adjacent to the house there is a walled courtyard within which sits a swimming pool and pool house / sauna. There are various other sheds / greenhouses within a vegetable garden.

The grounds extend to around 3 acres in total - and border Westland Green itself.
