We are delighted to bring to the market ‘Martins Nest’ and ‘Woodpeckers’. This is a fantastic and unique opportunity to acquire these two bungalows set in quite stunning grounds that exceed 2 acres. Located in Braughing Friars, the location is just outside the ever popular East Hertfordshire village of Braughing.
With total accommodation in excess of 3500 square feet this opportunity really does offer many possibilities with great development scope (STPP). There are so many options open as the property can be used as either a 4 bedroom bungalow or 2 x 2 bedroom semi detached dwellings, multi-generational living as the larger of the two garages has planning permission granted to convert into a one bedroom annex.
This really is a superb opportunity all round for many types of buyers to tailor this rural setup to their own taste.

STEP INSIDE
Martins Nest is the first of the bungalows and you enter into a generous fitted kitchen with a large window that makes the most of the views to the rear garden. There is a small area for day to day dining and the bathroom leads off from the kitchen. Walk through to a good sized lounge which also has a sun room to enjoy the views over the fields to the front. Towards the rear, there is a dining room spacious enough for a large table. Further down the bungalow, you will find two double bedrooms; the master has fitted wardrobes and the rear bedroom also has a sun room with access to the garden. Woodpeckers is accessed from the other side of the plot, into a generously sized conservatory. This was added in 2007 and is a great space for a large dining table and to sit enjoying the cosy wood burner. It also doubles as a utility space and offers plenty of storage. Moving into to the original building, the fitted kitchen makes the most of those garden views. On the side of the corridor is the bathroom then there is a small snug tucked behind that. Both double bedrooms are a good size and beautifully presented with fitted wardrobes.
STEP OUTSIDE
Both properties have their own entrance gates and driveways and the garden completely surrounds the building. In addition, Martins Nest has a double garage and Woodpeckers has a 14 metre long double garage which has been split in the middle to provide a space at the rear for a gym, a games room or just more storage. This building has Planning Permission to convert to a 1 bed annex. To the front there is a well maintained hedge and other bushes, one of which hides the Calor gas tank. However, it is the rear garden that really makes this property sing. At just over 2 acres, the land stretches back to meet open farmland and there is a brook which borders the side of the property. The lawn is well kept and fruit trees provide fruit and blossom in summer months. There are many established trees and bushes which give shade and attract wildlife to the garden. This location is truly stunning and offers the opportunity to build a really fabulous home in these beautiful surroundings (subject to planning consent).
