Description
Tucked away along the charming and rarely available hamlet on Noake Mill Lane in Water End, Stable Cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting on a quiet no-through road, with the gentle flow of the River Gade enhancing the Hamlet's idyllic, semi-rural appeal.
Accessed via electric gates, the property offers immediate privacy and security, with ample parking for multiple vehicles, a double garage, and attractive patio areas ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Extending to approximately 3,538 sq ft over two floors, the home provides generous and versatile accommodation. A spacious reception hall welcomes you in, with doors opening to the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. The standout feature is the bespoke kitchen/dining room, complete with a large central island, granite surfaces and range cooker, perfect for modern living and hosting alike. The spacious living room also benefits from a charming wood burner.
The ground floor also benefits from two further reception rooms, utility room, a useful boiler room, and a fourth bedroom.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, complemented by three bathrooms and two generous landing areas, adding to the sense of space.
To the rear, the south-west facing garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area, providing a pleasant space to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The house has oil fired heating and there is a septic tank for waste. The property has a natural well for water.
Stable Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a picturesque and tranquil setting.
Water End is a small and highly sought-after rural hamlet, situated on the northern edge of Hemel Hempstead, within the parish of Great Gaddesden. Despite being only a short drive from the town centre and mainline rail links into London, the area enjoys a wonderfully tranquil countryside setting surrounded by open farmland and rolling Hertfordshire countryside.
Characterised by a small collection of individual homes and country properties, Water End has the feel of a traditional rural hamlet rather than a suburban neighbourhood.
The surrounding landscape forms part of the beautiful Gade Valley countryside, offering an abundance of scenic walking routes, bridleways and quiet country lanes that are perfect for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The nearby River Gade flows through the valley and historically powered mills in the wider area, contributing to the long rural heritage of the landscape.
