" Proudly standing in the centre of deceptively large grounds and enjoying an elevated corner plot position, this handsome property known as ‘The Laurels‘ is an exceptionally bright and spacious home, flooded with natural daylight in almost every room.

Formally a farm cottage, built in the 1900‘s and belonging to the
Barbara Cartland Estate, the cottage has recently been the subject of sympathetic enlargement and extensive refurbishment throughout, blending the old with the new seamlessly, and creating a truly stunning family home, with a lovely feel, full of charm and character.

The village of Wild Hill is one of Hertfordshire‘s most sought after places to live, as property here, rarely comes to the market and after a visit to the village you can see why, offering the best of both worlds, surrounded by open countryside and woodland with many country walks on the doorstep together with the celebrated local, The Woodman Freehouse which is worthy of a mention. Whilst neighbouring towns of Brookmans Park and Hatfield offer various amenities, including outstanding educational and shopping facilities. Excellent road and rail networks are within short driving distance.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to those purchasers seeking a unique family home in a delightful rural setting.

EXTERIOR

The Laurels is approached via a wood picket fence either side of five bar wooden gates that afford access to a wide shingle driveway allowing private off road parking for several vehicles. The grounds are deceptively generous and wrap around the property, with panelled fencing and mature specimen trees, together with well established flowering and evergreen plants all providing an excellent degree of seclusion. Directly behind the property is an Indian stone paved sun terrace offering a sunny spot from where to sit and enjoy the gardens and surrounding woodland. There is an outside water supply and at night the property is enhanced by external lighting.
