5 bedroom house

Enviably located in what is quite arguably one of the most sought-after private roads in St. Ippolyts, Warriors sits on a level 0.6 acre south facing plot in stunning exclusive surroundings. It lends itself to two distinct scenarios which would be to either keep the house in its current guise, a five-bedroom chalet bungalow with three reception rooms and two bathrooms with some modernisation, or to commence a ground up new build project (subject to all the necessary consents being obtained). Regardless of the intention for this home there is no doubt that this is a rare and special chance to live in one of the most affluent areas within North Hertfordshire. Warriors, built in 1950s and extended in 1970s, is offered for sale chain-free on an informal tender basis. VIEWINGS ARE STRICTLY VIA APPOINTMENT ONLY VIA FINE AND COUNTRY. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES WISHING TO BID NEED TO HAND IN THEIR TENDER FORM IN WRITING BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE OF THE 28TH MARCH 2022, 12PM. CALL US NOW TO BOOK. The owner reserves a right to accept an offer at all times should they choose.

STEP INSIDE
Entry into Warriors is via a covered storm porch which leads to a welcoming entrance hall with the central staircase rising from the far side wall. Straight ahead is the 24ft living room, a bright space which is complimented with a set of sliding doors providing a first glimpse of the fine views down the garden, with the dining room to its adjacent right-hand side. The hall stretches across the breadth of the house and also serves the extended breakfast kitchen, three ground floor bedrooms which in turn leads to a separate bathroom and shower room. Additional external access is via a solid wooden door which leads into a side lobby providing personal access to the double garage, a downstairs cloakroom and the opposite end of the kitchen.

Venturing upstairs and the first floor landing leads to two further bedrooms including the main bedroom, both of which are set into the roof void featuring dormer windows overlooking the grounds outside.

STEP OUTSIDE
Warriors sits in mature grounds consisting of various tree species including fir and cedar with lawns that stretch right across its frontal boundary and right down to the lane’s edge. Measuring 105ft x 65ft the drive sweeps up the southern end with parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage. It is the rear garden however that deserves special mention. An incredible plot extending 230ft in length mainly laid to a manicured striped lawn complete with 30ft covered swimming pool. The total plot of the site exceeds 0.6 acres in total, faces south and offers total seclusion from near neighbours.
