Magnificent historic house

One of London’s oldest houses, dating back to the 1450s, and a landmark on this picturesque street. It’s filled with antique furniture, has a log burner and open fire, and two huge gardens. There is no other property like it in London and yet it’s only 45 mins from Oxford Circus. The space Four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, 4 bedrooms, bathroom, 80’ rear garden, and 70’ front garden with off street parking. Originally a 15th-century hall house, it was extended over the centuries to include panelled rooms, added in the 18th century, and a double-height former school room, now a kitchen. The kitchen itself is super well-equipped with food processor, Aga, two ovens and microwave. This well-known Enfield landmark was home to the writer Charles Lamb in the 1820s and bears a plaque in his memory. Restored in 2020, there is significant historic detailing throughout the property, including original Georgian fireplaces and panelling. The house sits within the Enfield Town Conservation Area on this landmark street. It is within walking distance of two stations with direct trains to Liverpool St and Moorgate and the Piccadilly Line is a short bus ride away. The house further benefits from being close to Enfield Town with its multiple shops, restaurants, buses and park, and has easy vehicular access to the M25. Guest access The entire property is available to guests. Other things to note As this is an ancient property, it has its quirks. But this is part of its charm and the important stuff - hot water, heating, open fires, ovens all are in excellent order. Please note that one of the double bedrooms (on the ground floor) doesn’t have an en suite and you need to walk through the library to the shower room and loo. Please also note that the room with the two single beds is off a double bedroom - perfect for a family, less convenient for adults. There is a pond in the garden with no safety barriers. Parents beware. There are also two steps to enter the property so may not be suitable for those with severe mobility issues.
