Morley Ponds was originally designed and converted as a first project for the RIBA world renowned architects Patti and Michael Hopkins in the late 1970’s and extended in the 1980’s. This is only the second time this property has been on the market. In 2019 a programme of modernisation was undertaken creating a new kitchen, installing underfloor heating whilst retaining many original features synonymous with the Hopkins design. In 2021 the property was extended encompassing an impressive double-height vaulted hallway, ground floor principal en suite bedroom and an artist’s window for stunning garden views, as well as boot room and shower room. Every room in the house is fitted with the new Velfac windows framing views showcasing the stunning setting of the property.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes an impressive, vaulted entrance hall which gains access to the rear gardens. There is a ground floor shower room, a boot room with loft space with pull-down ladder and further storage. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rear gardens and a superb en suite bathroom with seperate shower. There are metal engineered double doors leading to the main living space which includes a ground floor bedroom which has views to the front of the property. There is a staircase which leads to the first floor mezzanine/study area.
The living space is divided into three areas. The bespoke kitchen area has a central island with storage to 4 sides and seating for 4 people, Corian work surfaces throughout an integrated fridge and dishwasher, a Barazza Lab Hob 4-ring gas hob with external extractor, two inset double ovens and two windows to the front. There is a hidden door gaining access to the utility room which has space for tumble-dryer, washing machine and freezer and additional storage. The dining area has a double height vaulted ceiling with engineered oak throughout, inset cast iron fireplace, French doors to the rear terrace and entertaining area and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rear gardens. The dual aspect living area has French doors to the side gardens, engineered oak flooring throughout and an inset working fireplace.
On the first floor, there is a mezzanine/study area which has the original Hopkins designed glazed balustrades overlooking the dining area below and a stainless steel ladder to the second mezzanine area. There are two dual aspect double bedrooms both with fitted wardrobes and storage and both benefitting from en suites. The second floor mezzanine is currently used as a snug/gaming area which has three skylights with are remote controlled.
Outside, Morley Ponds is approached via a quiet unadopted byway track. There is a driveway providing parking and a turning area to the right of the property which leads to the timber framed outbuilding which is divided into three sections; one being a workshop, one being a dark room and the last a studio all with power and lighting. There is additional driveway parking to the front of the property.
Morley Ponds sits in more than three acres of garden and woodland. There a hidden garden surrounded by evergreen Yews featuring a rare Chinese handkerchief tree. The gardens have an orchard as well as mature borders. This remarkable setting is a haven of contemporary beauty with an abundance of wildlife. Set away from the house at the north end of the garden is a rustic cabin with accessible utilities.
Ware station is about ten minutes away and has direct links to Tottenham Hale (30 mins) and Liverpool Street (45 mins). The nearest pub is a 10 minute walk which is The Chequers in Wareside.
Agents note: Velfac windows have an 18 year guarantee. Exterior cladding is Larchwood which doesn’t need to be treated – it treats itself. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
