Hadham Hall is a country estate boasting a rich and varied history dating back to the 11th Century. The Grade II* Listed Gatehouse is believed to have been built in the early 1500s for carriage storage and later as a dwelling for farmhands. In 1948, when the estate was converted to a co-educational school, The Gate House was used as a classroom, workshop and storage. The estate was sold in the 1990s and since then the Gate House has been utilised as a health spa retreat and now a commercial office.

The estate itself is approximately 40 acres of beautiful parkland and fabulous specimen trees. Each property owner has the option to acquire a stake in a management company who maintain the grounds, providing equal rights over the land, to all houses. There is a residents' tennis court and various guest parking areas dotted around the estate.

The building is structurally good in order, having been refurbished in 2012. Heating systems (electric air conditioning and heating) are in place and there is a 100A, 3 phase electrical supply. Gas is available on the estate, but not currently connected to The Gate House.
