Description
WHITEHALL LEYS offers approximately 10,000 sq ft of beautifully individual accommodation, set within almost two acres of mature, secluded grounds. Rich in architectural character yet remarkably versatile, this is a home of genuine scale, quality and presence — discreetly positioned behind a gated approach just moments from the town. Providing seclusion without isolation.

HALL & STAIRS

UTILITY
A practical and well-appointed utility room with extensive storage and workspace, complementing the main kitchen and supporting the demands of a house of this scale.
KITCHEN / FAMILY ROOM
At the heart of Whitehall Leys is a superb open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room. Generous proportions, excellent natural light and direct connection to the gardens create a relaxed contemporary space that contrasts beautifully with the historic rooms elsewhere in the house.
KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM
The bespoke kitchen combines craftsmanship with everyday practicality. A substantial central island, extensive cabinetry and high-quality appliances provide a sophisticated yet highly functional space for cooking, dining and entertaining.
LEISURE AREA
The open-plan leisure wing provides an impressive contemporary counterpoint to the original house, with generous entertaining space and direct access to the gardens. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, it forms an exceptional extension of the principal living accommodation.
FLEXIBLE ACCOMMODATION
Beyond the principal reception rooms is further highly versatile accommodation, currently arranged to include additional bedrooms and recreational space. Ideal for guests, older children, staff or multi-generational living.
GYM & LEISURE
A dedicated gym and leisure area adds another dimension to the house. Generously proportioned and well equipped, it forms part of an exceptional collection of private lifestyle facilities rarely found within a home so close to the centre of Bishop’s Stortford.
SWIMMING POOL
The indoor swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the leisure complex. Heated and environmentally controlled, the pool is complemented by changing facilities, showers and dedicated plant, creating a genuinely private spa environment within the house.
ANNEXE
Above the leisure accommodation is a self-contained apartment providing valuable additional living space. With its own kitchen, shower room and bedroom/living area, it is ideal for guests, extended family or independent staff accommodation.
GARDEN ROOM
A light-filled garden room creates a seamless connection between house and grounds. With extensive glazing and doors opening directly outside, it is a relaxed space from which to enjoy the gardens throughout the year.
CINEMA ROOM
The private cinema is accessed from the leisure wing and provides a dedicated space for film and entertainment. Comfortable, secluded and purpose-designed, it adds yet another layer to the lifestyle offered by Whitehall Leys.
GARAGING
Substantial garaging sits separately from the main house, providing excellent secure parking together with extensive ancillary space. Further accommodation includes a self-contained studio with kitchen and shower facilities, alongside additional storage and workshop areas.
THE GROUNDS
The grounds are one of Whitehall Leys’ defining features. Approaching two acres, they wrap around the house and combine mature lawns, established planting and secluded terraces to create an exceptional sense of privacy.
Despite its convenient position, the house feels wonderfully removed from its surroundings.
PAVILION
Set within the gardens, the purpose-built pavilion provides a superb additional entertaining space.
With a fitted kitchen and generous dining area, it is perfectly positioned for summer lunches, evening entertaining and larger gatherings.
Whitehall Leys occupies a remarkably private position on the eastern edge of Bishop’s Stortford, combining the atmosphere and seclusion of a country house with exceptional access to the town.
Bishop’s Stortford offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly regarded schooling, together with fast rail services to London Liverpool Street.
Stansted Airport, Cambridge and the wider motorway network are also readily accessible.
