Ermine Street, Thundridge, SG12

Thomas Childs & Co delivers a rare opportunity to the open market: this is only the second time this superb detached Georgian style manor house has been on the market since 1990.

Set back from the road and behind electric gates lies one of the jewels in the small village of Thundridge's crown. The Georgian style of red brick and symmetrical sash windows is a perfect example of why this era of architecture is so sought after and iconic. Often known as the 'Wisteria House' in summer, its setting in the heart of the village offers both a taste of the countryside alongside the practical proximity to several towns, including Ware and Hertford.

Ascending the limestone steps up to the gloss black front door, you're met with modern yet traditional interiors that have been beautifully curated by an Interior Designer, with bespoke European oak chevron flooring throughout the ground floor, bold colours and high end designer furniture.

The layout is traditionally Georgian, meaning that all the rooms are of ample size with plenty of usable space and large sash windows.

There are four rooms leading off from a central hallway on the ground floor and each side of the house is open plan.

The striking high spec Eggersmann & Alno designer kitchen (as featured in Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms magazine) is home to an impressive 3 metre long, Dekton clad island with a breakfast bar and large drawers for storage. It includes a Quooker Cube tap system and Miele appliances. It's open plan to the Day Room/Dining area which has a working fireplace. 

The other side of the house boasts another working fireplace with shelving and storage in each alcove. This Reception room features a library themed Cole & Son wallpaper and opens to the formal Dining Room, this time with a botanical themed Cole & Son design. There is an option to close the wooden bi-fold doors to create two more intimate spaces.

On the first floor, the light filled landing leads off to the 4 boldly coloured bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom with separate shower and bath. The Master Bedroom has a statement four poster bed, bedside tables and chest of drawers all from Porada and leads into an en-suite with its striking tiles and large shower, worthy of a 5 star hotel. 

Heading down into the basement, there is a well-hidden Utility Room with separate washing machine and tumble dryer, a showstopping WC, a cosy Cinema Room with bespoke media wall and an additional shower room. 

Exterior

The large resin driveway at the front continues down the side of the property, where you can find a Wallbox electric car charger and a double garage with electric door.

To the rear of the property there is a raised outdoor terrace with plenty of space for lounge seating and a large dining set. An additional patio area is below complete with an outdoor kitchen.

The property is surrounded at the front and back with beautifully mature and established trees, adding to the overall feeling of privacy. 

 

Schools

Thundridge is perfectly placed for the Independent Primary schools of Heath Mount, St Joseph's In The Park and Duncombe, plus the Secondary schools of St Edmunds College and Haileybury.
