Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text DESCRIPTION Coles Hill House is a beautiful Grade ll listed Georgian country house set in 20 acres of formal gardens and parkland with wonderful views. Dating from the 17th century, the north elevation was an 18th century addition providing a handsome mellow red brick symmetry, whilst an early 19th century addition was made to the west. Coles Hill House is an exceptional family home which has been in the same family ownership since 1963, and would now benefit from some sympathetic renovation. The principal house combines elegant reception rooms, ideal for entertaining and at first floor there is comfortable bedroom accommodation. The second floor is currently unused, however there is good ceiling height and excellent potential for increasing the bedroom accommodation or creating a staff flat at this level. The gardens and grounds provide a tranquil private setting, laid mostly to lawn with attractive formal rose beds and clipped yew hedges to the south. There is a tennis court and a useful range of traditional outbuildings providing garaging, stables, kennels, and various store rooms. Adjoining the gardens and grounds are two well-fenced paddocks providing useful grazing for horses whilst at the same time protecting the immediate environments of the house. The property comprises about 20 acres in total.

SITUATION Westmill is one of East Hertfordshire’s most sought after villages with a traditional pub and church, village shop with tea room and post office, and an attractive selection of period properties conveniently located less than one mile from the A10 which provides access to London, the M25 and the North. Further facilities are available in the larger centres of Bishop’s Stortford and Hertford. There are a number of excellent schools within a reasonable driving distance of Westmill including Haileybury and Heath Mount School in Hertford, St. Edmund’s College at Puckeridge and the Bishop’s Stortford College. There is a championship golf course at the Hanbury Manor Marriott Golf and Country Club (8 miles) and nearby is East Herts Golf Course (2 miles).
