Thomas Childs & Co are delighted to be marketing 'Garth House', a charming Grade II listed Georgian House with mature gardens. Garth House has been the much-loved family home of the current owners for the past 70 years and we are looking for a purchaser who would like to continue loving the house as much as they have.
The main house offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms, four receptions including main hall, drawing room, dining room and family room. There is a traditional kitchen with larder and access to the gardens. The ground floor also offers W.C, utility and large boot room. There is a large dry cellar and wine store, attics and plenty of storage throughout the house. There is a private driveway with electric gates and a large single garage.
* Please note, potential buyers will also be offered the option of purchasing the 2 bedroom Victorian cottage immediately next door to the main house at an additional cost
The house has been very well maintained throughout the years and seems to be in excellent condition. Situated in the centre of the village, close to the church, the house faces south over a beautiful, well-kept garden, and is very light, peaceful and private.
Garth House offers just over an acre of beautiful gardens. The gardens are abundant with mature trees, plants and flowers, and each part of the garden tells a different story. At the end of the garden there is a very well-maintained tennis court and a separate access gate from St Marys Lane. The garden also features a large greenhouse, and three sheds. Two of the sheds, of brick construction are supplied with electricity, and could easily be converted into outside offices (subject to any permissions needed).
Garth house has some interesting twentieth-century cultural associations, having been home to the mother of the painter Spencer Frederick Gore, a talented member of the Camden Town Group, the artist visited Garth House for extended periods between 1907 and 1910, and painted several pictures of the house and garden, one of which was exhibited at the Royal Academy’s Impressionism Exhibition in 1974. Most of Gore’s Hertingfordbury paintings, of Garth House, Panshanger Park and other sites in the village, are held in major public art collections around the world.
Panshanger Park, originally designed by the acclaimed landscape architect Humphrey Repton and featuring The Great Oak (one of the oldest oak trees in Britain), can be accessed on foot from the village. Other attractive walking is available along The Cole Green Way, only a few minutes’ walk from Garth House.
Viewings strictly by appointment only.
