Cromer Farm, Hertfordshire, UK

Escape to the countryside with this idyllic English home.

Situated on the edge of a charming Hertfordshire village, Cromer Farm is a beautifully restored Grade II listed farmhouse. Exactly what you imagine when you think of the English countryside, the impressive 4,137-sq-ft home dates back to the mid-14th century.

Inside, Cromer Farm retains a number of period features. You’ll also find five bedrooms, three bathrooms and five reception rooms. The first floor encompasses a cellar, breakfast room, laundry room, several other reception rooms, and a sun room which is in the process of being converted to a large open-planned kitchen area with bi-folding doors leading out to the courtyard. On the second floor, the bedrooms and bathrooms are accompanied by a space currently being used as a library.

The idyllic listed home occupies formal gardens and paddocks of just under six acres, with an additional eleven available by separate negotiation, and has a range of outbuildings: An old forge, piggery and a detached Grade II Listed Granary make for an impressive collection. The star of the show, however, is the ready-to-go equestrian facilities with stables and a professional menage.

While you’ll feel fully immersed in the countryside, this property is perfectly suited for a commute to London, with Stevenage station close by and offering multiple fast trains per house to London King’s Cross in just 20 minutes.
