A Grade II listed four/five bedroom detached property set in a plot of over 7 acres of mature gardens in the Hertfordshire village of St. Ippolyts. The property was built around 1840 and was originally the gate lodge for St. Ibbs House. It was extended in 1975 with a west wing which was designed by local Architect Ivan Clarke. The property now has 3,198 sq. ft. of accommodation with a glazed entrance hall, a kitchen, utility room/boot room, dining room, sitting room with adjoining conservatory, study and ground floor shower room. On the first floor there are four/five double bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms. There is also a double garage with first floor storage and 322 sq. ft. of other outbuildings.

The house and gardens have been extensively refurbished by the vendors. The thatch was replaced in 2018 and the hand built kitchen was installed in 2021 by The Albany Bespoke Kitchen Company. The property has also been rewired throughout. The gravel driveway provides off street parking for up to eight cars. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees interspersed.

The study has a feature fireplace and a window to front, and the family room has a feature fireplace and triple aspect arched windows.
