Property description & features

  • Council Tax Band H - (£4242)
CHAIN FREE - We Hold The Keys - Check out our video tour - Bracken Hill: a 1930's restored country residence situated on the most prestigious road in East Hertfordshire, stands centrally in a wide plot with wonderful South-West facing gardens of c. 2 acres - it is arguably one of the best plots in Tewin within this price bracket.

Homes on Queen Hoo Lane don't come on the market very often. It's not surprising if you've seen them. And when they do, prices typically range between £2 & £6 million.

In terms of first impressions, Bracken Hill can not be beaten. As you enter via remote controlled solid oak gates, the driveway and approach to the property are simply breathtaking. Pass the circular gravel drive with ornamental fishpond and water fountain and step inside the home to a bright entrance hallway with galleried landing where you immediately get sneak peeks through to the amazing garden vista and backdrop of light woodland.

The house was recently majorly restored: re-wired and re-plumbed, new central heating system, replacement solid wood double-glazed lead-light windows, oak flooring, and fitted kitchen with all modern comforts. All the principal ground floor rooms have full width bi-fold doors with remote opening blinds and open out onto a large paved terrace to the rear - great for entertaining and taking in those views of the garden. There is also a self-contained double bedroom suite complete with kitchenette, en-suite with its own separate external access.

The current owners have invested heavily into re-modelling the accommodation on the first floor to a much more suitable layout: the new galleried landing makes this space a great deal more inviting and allows an abundance of natural light to flood into both the ground floor entrance hallway and first floor. An additional three superb double bedrooms each have their own private ensuites fitted to a luxurious standard, and bespoke fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom benefits from vaulted ceilings and a five piece en-suite bathroom, twin sinks, bidet/toilet, double-ended bath and large recessed heated mirror cabinet. All three bedrooms and the landing benefit from the impressive views over the private gardens that provide year-round interest - particularly in spring when the large rhododendrons and thousands of spring bulbs bloom in an abundance of colour. Autumn provides another spectacle as the deciduous trees burst into autumnal colours.

Externally, a spacious, newly built modern office / studio with a fast gigabit internet connection, TV and sound dampened walls provides a luxurious getaway from the main residence, to work from home, chill out, or be creative. There is ample parking onsite on the large drive and a detached double-garage with remote controlled doors that benefits from additional loft storage space under the pitched roof.

There is permitted development rights for a four car barn and a detached sunroom/gym. There may be potential to further extend the property under permitted development rights (STCA).

Queen Hoo Lane lies in between the villages of Tewin and Datchworth, each having a village store, gastro pub and reputable primary school. Heathmount and Haileybury are within easy reach, as is Welwyn North station (10 minutes) providing commuter service into Kings Cross from 19 minutes and access to Thameslink line and St Pancras. The major towns of Hertford and Welwyn Garden City are within 5 miles and Brocket Hall Golf Club about 4 miles. The A1(M) can be reached at Welwyn.

This special home needs to be viewed to appreciate its exceptional location.

Places of interest

    For over 45 years Bryan Bishop & Partners have remained in the forefront of selling this area's more individual property from small cottages to larger detached houses. It is their determination to restrict their portfolio to a specific market that has attracted sellers and buyers from many miles away to visit their Welwyn office, perhaps recognising that there is still a place for the more bespoke type of service. Much has changed in the world of Estate Agency, the arrival of the Internet signalled a revolution in the way people search for their dream homes. It has now become the ‘first port of call’ for the majority of buyers which is why we have invested heavily on rightmove and other well known property portals. The firm's owner, Martin Bishop, has worked in Welwyn for almost 36 years and has built up a valuable reservoir of knowledge on the local property market. He is supported by a team of enthusiastic sales and admin staff at ease with the latest technology.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 10, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 10, 2023

    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

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 9, 2020 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
