Green Tye, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire

The property is situated amongst fine Hertfordshire countryside in a secluded position yet close to amenities in the attractive village of Green Tye. This delightful Grade II Listed period house dates from around 1550 and is traditionally constructed with a jettied first floor and a timber frame with weatherboarded and plastered elevations. The Listing mentions that it is a mid to late 16th century, timber framed building with a 16th century west bay and a mid 17th century chimney stack. There are two later extensions on the ground floor.
The accommodation has considerable character including exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, as well as old features including the front door and two mullioned windows. On the ground floor there is a heavily timbered sitting room with a wood burning stove and two staircases to the first floor, dining room with inglenook fireplace, a family room, kitchen with large pantry cupboard and Aga, ground floor bathroom and two ground floor bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. On the first floor there are three further bedrooms, a dressing room, bathroom and mezzanine storage area. Outside, a driveway lies beside the house and leads to an extensive parking and turning area past a thatched period barn. There is fine partially walled south-facing garden to the front, a modern summer room and, beside, a useful outbuilding. Behind the house there are lawns, a terrace and ponds which may have formed part of the original moat.
The well established gardens are delightful with many interesting and established trees including Rowan,
Mulberry and fruit trees. Towards the back of the garden there is a further outbuilding, recently constructed, which, with relevant consents and some expenditure, could be converted into an office. There is also an aviary. Beyond the more formal gardens there is a fenced meadow with far reaching views.
