A Grade II listed detached family house, converted from the Eagle and Child pub, with a double garage and landscaped garden in the Hertfordshire village of Whitwell. Eagle and Child House was once a pub, the oldest part of which dates back to C1480 and which was believed to be extended in 1747. It was converted by Beechwood Homes in the late 1990s and now offers over 3,000 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors with plenty of original features throughout. On the ground floor the entrance porch leads into the oldest part of the house which is currently the dining room. There is also a formal sitting room, a family room and a conservatory leading out to the garden. The kitchen has an adjoining utility room and steps down to a cellar. There is also a study and cloakroom. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, one further shower room and one bathroom, and a separate cloakroom.

The landscaped garden is south facing and has gated access to the double garage at the side. There is also visitor parking available.
