Grade II Listed | Chain Free | Over 3,736 sq ft | Six Bedrooms | Five Reception Rooms
Right in the heart of Buntingford's historic High Street sits a handsome, double fronted Grade II listed home offering just over 3,700 sq ft of remarkably flexible accommodation across three floors, with a layout that works just as well for family life as it does for multi generational living or serious work from home separation.
Step inside and the proportions immediately do the talking. A generous entrance hall with panelled walls and stone flooring sets the tone. Two elegant principal reception rooms sit to the front, both with high ceilings, broad sash windows with original wooden shutters and period detail in abundance. The sitting room centres around an open fireplace with log burner, while the dining room enjoys a cast iron fireplace with ornate surround.
From the hall you move through to a study or home office with views of the garden. Roof lights flood the room with light, a door leads outside and the space flows through to the snug. A cloakroom/wc is located in the corner of the study. The snug is a wonderfully characterful room with exposed brickwork and a log burner as its focal point. From here you enter the beautifully appointed main kitchen, fitted with shaker style units, wooden worktops, space for a table, room for appliances and pleasant views across the courtyard.
Upstairs in the main house, the first floor continues the theme. Two generous front bedrooms retain high ceilings, sash windows and cast iron fireplaces, with one offering built in storage. There is a guest bedroom with ensuite shower room, a further bedroom and a well appointed family bathroom.
Below, the cellar provides excellent storage and potential for wine, hobbies or further use depending on your needs.
Adjoining the main house is additional accommodation that has been upgraded to a very high standard and is currently arranged as two one bedroom cottages. Ideal for a dependent relative, older children wanting independence, guests, or a properly separated work from home environment that does not interfere with the main household. One of the cottages benefits from CAT5 cabling, making it perfectly suited to home working.
The first cottage is arranged with kitchen, bathroom and living room on the ground floor and a bedroom on the first floor.
The second cottage delivers real impact. A vaulted ceiling crowns the open plan kitchen dining space, a door leads to a ground floor bedroom with ensuite, and stairs rise to a vaulted living room above.
It works beautifully as it is, but also offers obvious potential to be reconfigured into entertaining space, secondary kitchen spaces or independent accommodation depending on how you want to live.
The property enjoys a substantial, fully enclosed, west facing rear garden that is every bit as impressive as the house itself. A terrace runs from the back of the main house and continues past the additional accommodation, creating an extensive paved area for seating, dining and entertaining. This opens onto a generous seating area before giving way to a large expanse of lawn. The lawn is a fantastic size for family life. Plenty of room for football goals, a trampoline and children to properly play. It is also large enough to accommodate a marquee for parties and gatherings without feeling cramped. To the far rear, a further seating area sits beneath a feature pergola, perfectly positioned to enjoy the evening sun.
This home dates from around 1700, with alterations in the early 19th century.
A Sun Firemark bearing the legend "J54532" is still visible on the front elevation. This was placed in 1756 for William Elling, a butcher, when the house and adjoining brewhouse. Before 1881, this property served as the town's police station. During later alterations, steel bars were discovered over a doorway that once formed part of a holding cell.
This is authentic, layered history that Grade II listing exists to protect.
Buntingford is a genuine Hertfordshire market town with a strong sense of community. Independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday essentials are all on your doorstep. The long established Monday Charter Market on Market Hill remains a focal point of the week.
There are lovely walks along the River Rib and close by countryside, green spaces and parks for dog walking and family time, and a choice of welcoming local pubs within a short stroll.
Well regarded primary schools serve the town, alongside Edwinstree School and Freman College for older children.
For commuters, the A10 provides straightforward access towards London and Cambridge, while bus routes connect you to Royston and Hertford for mainline rail services.
