General Description
Charming Georgian detached with character features and numerous additions which would suit those looking to work from home or housing relatives. Mature 0.4 acre plot. Features include: * INDEPENDENT STUDIO APARTMENT * POTTERY STUDIO *PLANS PASSED (NOW LAPSED) FOR DETACHED ONE BEDROOM BUNGALOW*
Gews Corner is a very charming Grade II listed Georgian property which we believe has Victorian additions to the rear. The main accommodation offers four bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom and independent shower room. The ground floor has a charming split level sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility room and ground floor wc, with a stunning conservatory to the rear.
The property offers many original features including Georgian style sash windows, panelled walls, some original doors and oil fired central heating.
The property includes an attached former stable block which comprises a first floor self-contained studio apartment with kitchenette, and on the ground floor there is a shower room, as well as a utility room leading to a pottery studio. However, these facilities could easily be converted into a formal office or even further living accommodation if required, subject to the usual planning consents.
Purchasers should also note that plans have been passed (although now lapsed) for the construction of a detached one bedroom bungalow to the front of the property which can be used as accommodation to house another family member or may be sold off as an independent title.
The mature plot extends to approximately 0.4 of an acre and is filled with an abundance of fruit trees, shrubs and established trees. The property is set centrally on a plot which faces East to the front and West to the rear with vehicle access being gained from both aspects.
Properties offering thus flexibility and potential rarely become available in such a central location. There is easy access to the local BR Stations, Cheshunt and Theobalds Grove which offer a quick and direct route to London. The A10 and M25 are in easy reach and the local High Street, which offers ample shopping facilities, is within easy walking distance. The Lea Valley Park is a ten minute walk away and the Grundy Park sports complex with swimming pool and gym is just a few minutes away. The house is in the catchment of area of many good primary and secondary schools.
