3 bedroom character property for sale

This delightful home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy elegant country living within a prestigious historic setting. Set over two floors, this beautiful three bedroom home manages to blend period grandeur with all modern day conveniences and viewing is an absolute must to appreciate the accommodation offered.

Enviably positioned within breathtaking parkland and steeped in history, this exceptional home forms part of the distinguished Hamels Mansion, whose beautifully maintained grounds adjoin the renowned East Herts Golf Course, all set amidst some of the most picturesque countryside in East Hertfordshire while remaining well connected, with the nearby A10 offering convenient routes to both London and Cambridge and rail links available from the towns of Ware and Hertford.

This particular residence occupies part of an attractive wing adjoining the main mansion and enjoys the rare benefit of its own private front door, enhancing the sense of independence and privacy that is more associated with a traditional house. Arranged across the ground and first floors, the property offers the scale of a generous three-bedroom home, characterised by magnificent high ceilings and impressive large windows. These have recently been enhanced with bespoke double glazing, thoughtfully commissioned by the current owners, who have also skilfully reconfigured and modernised the interiors to create the elegant and highly functional living space that is presented today.

Upon entering, the hallway leads through to the principal reception room, a wonderfully proportioned and light-filled space with high ceilings and striking windows with window seats framing the views across the surrounding gardens. A feature fireplace adds warmth and character whilst providing a natural focal point.

The stylish open-plan kitchen is beautifully appointed with contemporary fitted wall and base cabinets with 'Slab Tech' counter tops in a grey hue, complemented by a central island that doubles as a breakfast bar for relaxed dining. The layout easily accommodates a dining table and comfortable seating areas, creating a versatile setting ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. French doors open directly onto a peaceful area of the communal gardens.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfortable accommodation and sharing a well-appointed, modern family bathroom.

Further practical benefits include a garage located conveniently nearby within a block, along with residents’ parking spaces.
