Bell Vue: This magnificent Grade II listed manor house, set within half an acre of beautifully secluded grounds, offers an exceptional blend of period grandeur, modern comfort and rare versatility. Approached through impressive gated grounds with sweeping driveway, the property delivers more than 2,800 sq ft of elegant accommodation, two self-contained annexes, a stunning orangery and expansive wrap-around gardens designed for entertaining and family living. With its rich nineteenth-century heritage, striking façade, luxurious principal suite, and exciting development potential, this remarkable home offers a unique opportunity to secure a landmark residence in a convenient, highly desirable location.
Quirky Feature: Ownership of this property includes the unique legal right to adopt the honorary title “Lord and Lady of Cheshunt”, a fun and unusual talking point that adds a touch of heritage charm.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Set behind an impressive gated entrance, this elegant late-nineteenth-century manor house sits within a generous, beautifully secluded plot. A sweeping driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a well-placed garage with lighting and power. Mature trees and established hedging frame the approach, creating a sense of privacy and calm, while the striking front façade delivers an instant wow factor. Power is already in place for those wishing to upgrade to electric gates.
A charming timber-framed greenhouse links the main house to one of the annexes. Home to the gas boiler and a productive grapevine, it offers an ideal space for growing fruit and vegetables or could be converted into additional accommodation, subject to planning permission. The property has also previously benefited from approved planning for a detached two-bedroom dwelling, which we believe could be reinstated.
**The Main House: **Dating back to the 1890s, the main residence is rich in character and period charm. A grand hallway with a sweeping staircase and an impressive chandelier sets the tone for the accommodation that follows:
A well-proportioned dining room enjoys views of the front gardens. Oak flooring, wood panelling and a chimney breast create a warm and inviting atmosphere, and we understand that reinstating an open fire or installing a wood burner would be a straightforward enhancement.
The kitchen is beautifully designed with granite worktops, a gas-fired AGA oven, and a range of integrated appliances including fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer and microwave oven. A door leads directly into the rear garden, and there is also access to a downstairs WC. The kitchen connects back to the hallway and flows naturally into the living room.
The living room is bright and airy, with dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens. Wood panelling and a wood burner set within a limestone surround add comfort and character. This room leads into a snug, currently used as an additional living space but equally suited to a home office or reading room. From here, the accommodation continues into the orangery.
**Main House First Floor: **The first floor offers four double bedrooms. The principal suite features a generous ensuite bathroom with a statement bathtub, his-and-hers sinks, and underfloor heating. A modern family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms.
**Orangery and Annexes: **A large timber-framed orangery provides a striking, versatile space ideal for entertaining. It enjoys views across the gardens and leads to further internal accommodation currently arranged as two self-contained annexes, each with a kitchenette and shower room. This layout is perfect for guests, multigenerational living or potential rental income.
**Gardens and Grounds: **The gardens are a standout feature, offering privacy, space and a wonderful setting for outdoor living. Expansive lawns are complemented by mature plantings, including magnolia trees, a red Japanese acer, and a variety of fruit trees such as black cherry, plum, and apple, along with thriving grapevines. A secluded area houses an electric hot tub, creating a superb place to relax and entertain. A children’s playhouse with a slide adds family appeal, while a large storage lean-to provides excellent practical space. A second gated vehicle access leads directly into the rear garden, adding convenience and flexibility.
