" Development Opportunity (Lot 3): A Grade II Listed coach house and adjoining cottage with planning permission to convert into a substantial family home with good-sized and secluded gardens in this excellent village location.

Overall Description Hacketts Coach House (including the Cottage) forms the eastern end of a series of Grade II Listed farm buildings for the main farmhouse, parts of which date back to the 16th Century, though the portion making up this property is of 19th Century origin with 20th Century additions. Around the 1930s the very eastern part of the building was converted into living accommodation. Planning permission has now been granted to convert the current two bedroom cottage and coach house into a large three bedroom house, designed by the Sanders family with Hertford based architects, Good Architecture to retain the original building's character and integrity whilst creating a comfortable modern family home. The heart of this home will be the large open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room running along the whole of the eastern side of the house and with windows and doors out into the mature and private garden. The plans allow for a second large reception room, utility, downstairs double bedroom and bathroom, with two further double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The gardens are quiet and secluded with open fields to the east and a stable building in one corner. The house is next to a small orchard which is to become a parking area with three allocated parking spaces for Hacketts Coach House. This is a rare opportunity to create your own home in such an interesting and historic building located in one of the most desirable villages in the area. Please go to www.hackettsbrickendon.net for planning details and further information. Location The property is located in the picturesque Hertfordshire village of Brickendon which is centred around a traditional village green and a friendly village pub, The Farmer's Boy. There is a thriving community with several clubs and activities (see www.brickendon-liberty.org.uk for details) and Brickendon Grange Golf Club is just down the road. The village Chapel was built in 1932 with funds from former Hacketts owner, Constance Demain Saunders and her mother Minnie. The village is one of the most sought after in the area, not only for the beautiful countryside that surrounds it including Broxbourne Woods (the county's only National Nature Reserve), but also for its excellent transport links to London with Bayford Station just half a mile down the road (with regular services to Moorgate and Kings Cross) and easy access to the A1, A10 and M25. There are excellent public and state schools in the local area and good local amenities can be found in the historic market town of Hertford just 3 miles away.
