Description
Situated on just over five acres amidst breathtaking gardens and countryside vistas, this secluded six-bedroom, four-bathroom Georgian home nestled within North Hertfordshire emanates timeless charm. The primary residence showcases expansive interiors blending classical architecture with modern amenities. Enveloping the property is a picturesque garden providing a tranquil escape. Additionally, a separate two-bedroom cottage enhances flexibility, ideal for guests or independent living. This distinguished estate embodies character and elegance, boasting historic allure, generous accommodation, and verdant outdoor spaces—a perfect retreat for those seeking refined living and countryside tranquillity within easy reach of nearby towns.
With spacious interiors, the main residence beautifully blends classical architecture with modern comforts. The generous and inviting entrance hall provides access to the ground floor accommodations and showcases an elegant staircase as its centrepiece.
The ground floor of this residence features four well-proportioned and beautifully presented reception rooms: A dining room, sitting room, office, and a spacious 24 ft main drawing room, each with ample natural light and striking feature fireplaces. Overlooking the courtyard is the characterful and charming kitchen/diner adorned with impressive beam work, enhanced by skylights, and complimented by a dedicated laundry room. Completing the ground floor are two cloakrooms, an orangery-style utility/boot room, and a second entrance hall.
Moving to the first floor, the accommodation is equally well-proportioned and balanced. The expansive landing space provides access to all six bedrooms via the main staircase and a rear staircase leading back down to the kitchen. Each of the six bedrooms is generously sized, with the principal bedroom standing out with its dressing room and en suite shower room featuring a walk-in shower, pedestal wash basin, and low-level WC.
The guest bedroom also boasts the convenience of an en suite bathroom. The remaining four bedrooms are served by two well-appointed bathrooms—one a shower room and the other a bathroom with a panelled bath, pedestal wash basin, and low-level WC.
The delightful 'Domek' cottage is nestled within a gated, picturesque courtyard, offering accommodation over two floors. It features an open-plan sitting/dining room and a vintage kitchen adorned in a French farmhouse style, complete with whitewashed beams and oak floors. The bedrooms exude freshness and charm, with the double bedroom boasting a circular window and a Juliette balcony.
Pembroke Farm boasts a beautifully maintained garden designed with a wildlife walk and charming formal features. The garden is stocked with plants that attract wildlife and pollinators, offering formal seating areas to relax. Highlights include a topiary garden, expansive rose gardens showcasing over 150 rose specimens, a tranquil woodland garden, and a tea lawn adorned with cottage garden beds.
