Bourne House

Bourne House occupies a delightful position on the western edge of the village of Wadesmill, in a raised position with commanding views to the west over open countryside and woodland. The late owner previously lived in the adjacent period house Oldfield and when this house became too large to maintain, planning consent was granted for a contemporary country house which was designed by highly regarded local architect John Clarke, who has a practice in London and Much Hadham. The house was built in 2005 with living accommodation on the first floor to take advantage of the spectacular views and bedroom accommodation on the ground floor. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room with three quarter height windows with views to the south and west and fitted shelving, open plan kitchen/dining room, home office, utility and pantry. On the lower ground floor there are four bedrooms, an en suite and family bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached from a long tarmac driveway which is shared with the neighbouring house. An automatic gate leads to an open bay parking and turning area and to a lockable garage, car port and two store rooms, as well as a covered entrance way. The extensive grounds are easy maintained and are laid to lawn with a terrace at the back of the house with stunning views, a wild flower meadow (formerly a field for horses) and a formal vegetable plot, a post and railed paddock and full sized manege which requires some repair. A field gate in the north eastern corner provides access to the highway. The grounds in all extend to about 7 acres.
