3 bed for sale in Old Park Ride, Theobalds Park, EN7 (ref: 559268)

Located within the Theobalds Park Estate, The Stables Courtyard is entered through a gated entrance and sits on just over an acre of land and includes a separate detached barn that's rife for conversion, attach it to the main house or turn it into a separate dwelling (all subject to usual planning consents.)
The house has pre-planning approval for a first floor extension above the ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms and the ground floor itself could also be extended into the garden under permitted development.
There is parking for up to 12 cars as the house owns the courtyard/driveway in front of the house.
Residents also get use of The Birch private club as part of living on the estate.
PS. The square footage figure includes the detached barn.

Straight through to the kitchen/breakfast/dining room there is a feeling of countryside warmth under the beams and walking on the Victorian tiled floor. Complete with a wood burner in the corner, the kitchen is tucked neatly to one side, providing a family space for dining. The living room is the stand-out space, with a vaulted ceiling, a brick feature fireplace and a mezzanine level, truly setting the historical tone for the whole home.

The rest of the property continues with three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite) and an office/bedroom, the only first floor room in the property. All the bedrooms are a great size, one currently opened up acting as a exercise space (the owner will put the wall back.) There is also a utility/boot room with direct access to the garden.

The principle access to the garden is through the garden doors in the living room, leading out to double stone steps. Ancient oaks and willows fill the top half of the garden and feature a 500-year old well, that according to local folklore, Queen Elizabeth I drank from when visiting Theobalds Park.
A sumptuous lawn leads down to a stream at the bottom of the garden. Sweeping countryside views can be seen through the trees, as well as the neighbouring beautiful, grade 2 listed Temple Coach House.

Externally, the property's driveway boasts ample parking, a detached barn which has exciting versatility and potential to become more residential or possibly commercial/office space.
In addition there is pre-planning already in place to extend the property, which would remove the boot room and extend gracefully into the garden, all which can be completed under permitted development.

The Stables Courtyard is located within an old hamlet offering real English authenticity. Accessed via a private road with controlled electric gates and entry phone system, it is ideally located for commuting with access to the M25 and A10 in just a few minutes.

Local train stations include Potters Bar, a 12-15 minutes’ drive away, and only a 16 minute train journey into London Kings Cross. The overground station at Theobalds Grove is also only an 8 minute drive, and connects directly to Liverpool Street in just over 30 minutes. Stansted Airport is also within easy reach.

There is a great selection of popular state and private schools locally, as well as Brookfield Farm Shopping Centre for all your everyday essentials.
