A rare fusion of tradition, technology, and tranquility - ready for immediate viewing.
Tucked within the exclusive White Horse Mews development in the historic village of High Cross, Plot 3 is a beautifully crafted two bedroom, two bathroom detached cottage, offering the perfect balance between countryside charm and contemporary living.
Set behind secure gates in a private enclave of just four new-build residences and one stunning listed conversion, this thoughtfully designed home is a shining example of where high-spec design meets energy-efficient innovation.
From the outside, this characterful cottage respects the local vernacular with a sympathetic silhouette. Step inside, however, and the story continues in a far more modern tone:
Underfloor heating to both floors,
Air source heat pump,
Solar panels with battery storage,
And an EV charging point - all combine to deliver next-generation living with exceptionally low running costs (Octopus Energy has quoted just £610 per annum).
Internally, the ground floor is set out with concrete flooring, acting both as a thermal store and structural feature. You'll find an oak-floored living room, a shaker-style Symphony kitchen with composite stone worktops and full suite of integrated appliances, and a separate utility room with washer/dryer. The WC is stylishly fitted with modern brassware and porcelain tiling.
Upstairs, both double bedrooms come with their own en-suite bathrooms, each fitted with Hansgrohe fixtures and Puranas sanitaryware - a perfect private retreat for homeowners and guests alike. The solid concrete construction continues on this level, enhancing the thermal performance and acoustic insulation.
Externally, Plot 3 enjoys a private garden and two dedicated parking spaces. Every detail has been considered to provide a low-maintenance, high-comfort lifestyle in an exceptional village location.
About White Horse Mews
This gated development of five homes (three remaining) has been constructed by a highly regarded local developer using traditional methods and the finest local trades. While the exteriors nod to rural Hertfordshire heritage, the interiors tell a story of modern efficiency and clean design.
The Location - High Cross
Steeped in history and surrounded by countryside, High Cross is part of the civil parish of Thundridge. From the Roman Ermine Street to the 17th-century tollgates at nearby Wadesmill, the area's historical pedigree is matched by its access to modern amenities.
Ware is less than 4 miles away offering independent cafes, restaurants, bookshops and nature reserves, while Hanbury Manor - a five-star hotel, golf and spa resort - is just 2 miles from your door.
Superb connectivity is another strength. The A10 connects you west to Hertford in under 15 minutes, and east to Bishop's Stortford and Stansted Airport via the A120.
Education options are strong too, with reputable primary and independent schools all nearby, including St Edmund's College and Duncombe School.
