Firstly, let us tell you about the main property which dates back to the mid 19th century and was once the local vicarage. It is now a fine grade II listed family home, beautifully presented that combines its many period features with modern contemporary bespoke finishing. With high ceilings throughout, the property feels light and spacious and upon entering the entrance hall this feeling is further enhanced. You have four generous reception rooms, the main and most generous being the living room that has twin bay windows overlooking the rear gardens and features an open fireplace, down lighting and a hidden TV, just one of the more modern touches. Off the living room you have an all year round garden room with ultra-efficient all season glass and the kitchen breakfast room, accessed through twin double doors with glass arches over, making this a perfect area for social occasions and creating a more modern, open plan, way of living. The kitchen breakfast room has been updated with a contemporary finish and includes all the appliances you need in the modern home but with a classic AGA, and completed with marble work surfaces, feature lighting and plenty of space for a large breakfast table. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a formal dining room, TV room or ideal study, cloakroom toilet and utility room with second cloakroom off. Finally, there are stairs down to a cellar which incorporates storage, a boiler room and a perfect separate room for a fine wine collection.

Going to the first floor, which can be accessed by two staircases at each end of the ground floor, you have five bedrooms in total. The master bedroom suite is extremely generous in size and includes a dressing room with vast amounts of wardrobe space and also a luxury re-fitted en-suite bathroom with five piece suite. There are a further four bedrooms, a guest room with Jack and Jill bathroom, again re-fitted, and all the other bedrooms served by a bathroom and shower room. If you don’t need all the bedrooms then you could use one as an additional study, just like the current owners.

STEP OUTSIDE Thundridge House

Going outside you have two significant outbuildings, an annexe and cottage. The annex is just shy of 1000sq ft, including the garage space, and can of course be used as an annex or additional accommodation such as a gym or home office if you prefer. The building incorporates a triple garage and the accommodation includes a ground floor entrance area and laundry room, a first floor living room, kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and cloakroom. This is ideal if you require independent accommodation for a family member or to perhaps generate additional passive income. Like the annexe, the Cottage offers the same again and even more additional accommodation. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom and first floor with two double bedrooms and bathroom.

The two acres of grounds offers extensive gardens of multiple styles. The whole perimeter is enclosed and you access the grounds via an electric gate with video entry. A long gravelled driveway leads to the property, outbuildings and garages. Gardens are well maintained, some walled, and include vast lawned areas, mature trees, manicured hedges and shrubs, vegetable planting and a courtyard between the main house and outbuildings. A private gateway to the side leads through trees to country walks and the aforementioned ‘Hanbury Manor’.

If this wasn’t enough, there are plans for additional accommodation including a pool complex, something you may wish to explore further if you are lucky enough to become the new owners of this magnificent home and continue to create its history. Call Fine & Country to discuss this truly unique home and arrange your private viewing appointment. The property is available with the advantage of no upward chain.
