Upstairs, the main house offers four generously sized bedrooms, all with integrated storage, and a modern family bathroom with a shower-over-bath, WC and basin.
The self-contained annexe is accessed via its own front door or an optional internal link. Its accommodation mirrors that of a standalone home — featuring a welcoming hallway with cloakroom WC, an exceptionally spacious dual-aspect lounge/diner, and a rear kitchen/breakfast room with French doors framing panoramic rural views. Upstairs, a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed bathroom provide comfortable, private living quarters.
Step Outside: - The exterior of Bourne House is equally impressive. To the front, an expansive block-paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, framed by neat hedgerows and established planting. There is also a front lawn and side access to the garden.
To the rear, the generous garden is a peaceful haven — fully enclosed and directly backing onto rolling fields, with uninterrupted views as far as the eye can see. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden includes a sunken seating area, paved patios for al fresco dining, raised flower beds, mature shrubs and ample room for families or gardening enthusiasts to enjoy. This remarkable countryside position is rarely available and must be seen to be truly appreciated.
Location: - Tucked away in one of East Hertfordshire’s most picturesque rural villages, Albury is a collection of six hamlets, offering a peaceful way of life with easy access to nearby towns such as Bishop’s Stortford (6 miles) and Ware (8 miles) — both providing excellent rail links to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. The village offers immediate access to beautiful walking routes, including Patmore Heath (a Site of Special Scientific Interest) and other scenic nature spots.
The local community is vibrant and welcoming, centred around the historic St Mary the Virgin Church, and the much-loved Catherine Wheel pub, renowned for its hospitality and local ales. A short drive brings you to neighbouring Much Hadham, with amenities including a convenience store, GP surgery and golf course.
For broader services, Bishop’s Stortford offers everything from supermarkets and boutiques to a hospital, theatre, cafés, and leisure facilities. With access to the A10 and M11, and Stansted Airport within reach, this countryside location delivers both serenity and convenience.
