A magnificent country residence of exceptional scale, elegance and heritage, Dane End House represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Hertfordshire’s most distinguished private homes. Set within approximately 15 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, this remarkable estate combines grand period proportions, an abundance of original architectural features and superb leisure amenities, all within an idyllic countryside setting.
Approached via a sweeping gated driveway, the house makes an immediate impression with its striking façade and commanding presence. Internally, a wealth of original character has been carefully preserved throughout, complementing the impressive reception spaces and substantial accommodation arranged over three floors.
The ground floor is designed for both formal entertaining and comfortable family living, centred around a collection of elegant reception rooms including a magnificent dual-aspect drawing room, an impressive dining room, generous family room and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining pantry and utility areas. Additional reception rooms, studies and garden-facing spaces provide exceptional flexibility for modern lifestyles.
The bedroom accommodation is equally outstanding, with a series of beautifully proportioned bedroom suites across the first and second floors. The principal suite enjoys particularly impressive dimensions, complemented by a dressing room and luxurious en-suite bathroom. Further suites provide excellent accommodation for family and guests, while a separate bedroom wing offers privacy and versatility, ideal for staff, multi-generational living or extended family.
Outside, the estate’s grounds are a particular feature, offering a wonderful balance of formal gardens and natural surroundings. Expansive lawns are framed by mature specimen trees and established hedging, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. A terrace with swimming pool and pool house provides the perfect setting for summer entertaining, while an all-weather tennis court adds to the exceptional lifestyle appeal. Extensive garaging and a range of outbuildings offer substantial ancillary accommodation and further potential to suit a variety of requirements. Mature woodland lies to the rear of the grounds, completing this remarkable setting.
A detached Coach House is available by separate negotiation.
