Description
Thomas Childs & Co are delighted to present this unique opportunity to acquire Little Netherfield in Stanstead Abbots.
This much-loved family home has been owned and cherished by the same family for over 40 years and now offers new owners the chance to modernise and create an exceptional long-term residence.Extending to over 2,750 sq ft, the substantial detached property offers generous and versatile accommodation throughout. The ground floor comprises four spacious reception rooms, a large entrance hall, cloakroom/W.C., utility room, and a traditional farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room. To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms.While the property would benefit from updating, it provides an outstanding footprint and enormous potential to create a superb contemporary family home.Occupying approximately 1.5 acres, the outside space is equally impressive. The property features a large courtyard providing ample parking, several outbuildings, a triple garage, and a charming greenhouse. The principal garden is set within attractive walled grounds and includes a swimming pool and pool house, both requiring refurbishment but offering fantastic potential once restored. In addition, there is a substantial further parcel of land which is to the side of the garden and included in the sale. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, setting, and potential of this rare opportunity.Offered chain free.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
