Description
A substantial country home with exceptional grounds and outstanding leisure facilities
Broadcroft is an impressive six-bedroom detached family residence, privately positioned within approximately 4.5 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside.
Dating from the 1920s and recently refurbished and reconfigured by the current owners, the house combines generous accommodation with an enviable rural setting. Panoramic views across the surrounding landscape can be enjoyed from the principal rooms, while the grounds provide an exceptional range of leisure and lifestyle amenities, including a full-size international tennis court and heated outdoor swimming pool.
Approached via a tree-lined gravel driveway, Broadcroft enjoys a wonderfully private position while remaining conveniently connected to local amenities and transport. Sawbridgeworth mainline station is approximately a 15-minute walk away, with services to London Liverpool Street, Tottenham Hale and Cambridge.
The house
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and begins with a spacious entrance hall.
The ground floor provides a selection of well-proportioned reception and family spaces, including a dual-aspect family room, triple-aspect sitting room with working fireplace and formal dining room. The spacious kitchen/breakfast/dining room features a large box-bay window overlooking the gardens and farmland beyond. A separate utility room and ground-floor shower room complete this level.
The first floor is centred around a generous principal bedroom suite, incorporating a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with bath, shower, WC and Jack-and-Jill sink unit. Bedroom three also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a further shower room serves bedrooms two and four.
The second floor provides two additional bedrooms together with substantial storage space.
Grounds and outbuildings
The gardens are a particular highlight of Broadcroft. Expansive rolling lawns surround the house, with a patio seating area immediately to the rear providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining.
The heated swimming pool sits within a paved surround and mature planted beds, while the international tennis court provides a superb private sporting facility.
The rear of the property also includes a collection of useful outbuildings, comprising a double garage with adjoining stabling and tack room, a substantial studio above the garage and stabling, and a detached single garage. Two paddocks further complement the approximately 4.5-acre grounds.
Planning opportunity
Planning permission has been approved for a further separate freestanding residence, offering an additional and potentially significant opportunity within the grounds.
Location
Set amidst the countryside of Little Hallingbury, Broadcroft offers the rare combination of privacy, extensive grounds and excellent access to transport links.
