From the dining room, a modern staircase with carved balustrades and newel posts leads to the first floor landing with rediscovered mullioned window. This floor comprises the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, dressing room and spacious en suite, a second bedroom with en suite, a bathroom with separate w.c and a third bedroom on a lower level. Two staircases lead from the landing to the second floor. The
first provides access to a mezzanine floor and bedroom six and onwards to the top floor. This has two further connected bedrooms one of which has the exposed brick chimney stack. The second staircase leads directly into this room. A dry cellar is approached from the dining room and houses the boiler and laundry equipment. The property benefits from a recent full planning permission for a contemporary glass extension infilling the south courtyard to create a spectacular new entertaining space. For full details please visit the North Hertfordshire Planning Portal using the reference 22/03038/LBC.
The well maintained landscaped grounds extend to 4.9 acres and include an ornate garden pond. Immediately adjacent to the house a brick/shingle terrace incorporates shaped low level walls with an impressive display of topiary. Architectural features of interest to the rear elevation are the brick stack with tapered crowsteps and two trumpeting Satyr carved brackets situated to the top of the stair tower. Beyond is a large expanse of lawn, with the eyes being drawn to a substantial selection of mature trees, all planted by the present owners. A second shingle terrace is ideal for entertaining and sits adjacent to the gymnasium. The front aspect is approached via a five bar security gate, and has mature hedging to one side and is walled opposite. A shingle drive extends to one side of the property and leads to the double garage with car port and log store. A two bedroom cottage is also located to the front. This has two en suite shower rooms, a kitchen/ sitting area and a private garden with parking.
The property is located in a Conservation Area within the popular south Cambridge village of Barley, with its shop, school, public house, doctors and pharmacy. Under 5 miles distance is the historic market town of Royston, with an even more comprehensive array of green spaces and facilities, including a mainline station with rail services into Cambridge and London’s Kings Cross. There are shops, supermarkets, banks, eateries and public houses, along with a library, comprehensive recreational amenities, schools and doctor’s and dentist’s surgeries. Convenient road links are available via the M11 (Stansted Airport, London, M25 and A14 north) and to the city of Cambridge and the A1 (north and south) via the A10 and A505.
