Description

Mead House sits quietly in Wellpond Green, a hamlet between Much Hadham and Standon, behind a gravel drive and mature grounds that run to approx 2.5 acres. An Edwardian house of real presence, it has been well kept and holds its period character throughout: high ceilings, deep bay windows, original fireplaces and light from every side.

The sitting room is the heart of it. Over 22ft, dual aspect, with an original marble fireplace and French doors opening to the garden. A separate dining room, a study and a snug lead off the hall, and the kitchen/breakfast room runs into a bright conservatory that opens straight out to the terrace and lawns. A pantry, utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms across the first floor, the principal with a dressing room and en suite, a second en suite bedroom, and a family bathroom serving the rest. Space to spread out, and flexible enough for however a family grows into it.

Outside is where Mead House earns its keep. The grounds are private and mature, with a tennis court set within them and lawns wrapping around the house. A self-contained annexe sits alongside, with its own sitting/dining room, bedroom and shower room, ideal for guests, family or working from home. A detached outbuilding offers a workshop, garaging and further storage.

Wellpond Green is quiet without being cut off. Much Hadham and Standon are minutes away for the village shop, pub and church, and Bishop's Stortford runs direct services to London Liverpool Street.

Room to breathe. Room to grow.
