Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sibford Park is a stunning architectural design by award winning Yiangou Architects, using classic Georgian proportions and finished to an exacting standard. From conception the design and construction has been a devoted exercise in providing the highest standard of living. The design of the house was a direct response to the house's unique location, its simple, sensitive plan provides balance and harmony and its generous ceiling heights and windows allow natural light to flood its spaces. The house is spread over three storeys, arranged around an elegant central staircase providing sophisticated focus to the heart of the house. This is certainly an excellent opportunity to acquire a landmark property in a spectacular position. Built by local builders Henry Jervis and Partners, the house is offered with a 10 year NHBC Guarantee. This elegant and substantial stone house commands an idyllic and unique rural setting with far reaching views over four counties.
From London take the M25 until Junction 25, signposted 'Enfield' and 'Hertford'. At the roundabout, take the A10 northbound towards Hertford. At the next roundabout follow the A121 and signs to 'Waltham Cross'. Enter the town of Cheshunt. Take the A121 to 'Waltham Abbey'. At the traffic lights, follow the B194, signed 'Harlow Town Centre'. Continue to follow the B194 and signs to 'Harlow' and 'Nazeing'. Continue forward on to the Waltham Road. At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit to Nazeing Common, signposted 'Harlow'.
