A superbly finished four bedroom detached character home exempt from listing set in truly stunning surroundings.

This is a fantastic property offering modern living space in a character home with features including exposed beams and original skylights.


Located on the outskirts of Lower Stondon, Mayfield Barns is home to a small cluster of prestigious homes. Lower Stondon provides many amenities for day to day life including a shop, post office, public house, garden centre and golf course. There are further amenities available from the nearby town of Hitchin with high street stores, bars, cafes, restaurants and banks. The nearest train station in Arlesey operates a fast and frequent service taking less than forty minutes to London Kings Cross.

An electronic gated entrance opens to a long driveway leading to the pinnacle of the hill in which the properties are set. This particular home has been finished to a superb standard in the first instance with the current owners adding further high end touches throughout. They have also purchased an additional strip of land from the original developer increasing the properties plot size and adding even more impact to the stunning exterior aspect.


A modern layout to the property lends itself extremely well for first class living in first class surroundings. The downstairs comprises a hallway, lounge, kitchen and dining area, utility room, study and cloakroom.

The hallway nicely separates the downstairs rooms and creates a greater sense of space whilst fulfilling its practical purpose. Both the lounge and kitchen are stunning rooms and are great spaces to sit back and enjoy the magnificent countryside views. The lounge features French doors to the rear terrace with full height windows both sides and a stylish holographic feature fireplace.


For us the real wow factor has to be the kitchen. High end finishes including quartz worktops, glass splashbacks, integrated coffee machine and island which are complimented wonderfully by the bi-fold and French doors perfectly framing the countryside views. Come rain or shine the views from this room cannot fail to impress. Many summer mornings will be spent enjoying breakfast with all doors open bringing the outside in. Alternatively many winters evening will be enjoyed dining with views of frost cladded landscape.

Even the practical rooms to the property have been finished to the highest standards with the quartz worktop and Belfast sink to the utility room being a prime example.


Upstairs are four generous sized bedrooms, two of which have their own en-suites. There is also a lavish family bathroom. The master bedroom is very special. Extensive floor space and custom built in wardrobes creates the opportunity for an extravagant way to start and end the day. The en-suite is more substantial than most family bathrooms with a magnificent self-standing bath, walk-in shower and sink perfectly positioned under the skylight.

Albeit the inside to this property is seriously impressive it simply cannot compete with the stunning exterior and views that come with it. The front of the property features parking for several cars on a block paved driveway and two car carport. There is also lawn space with a shed all enclosed by part brick wall and feather edge fence infills.


The rear to this property turns this home from a first class house to a truly outstanding home. Generous terrace areas to the side and rear of the property step down to a wide and lengthy lawn. With no other property to intrude on the privacy of the garden only low level fencing is required so that nothing hinders the view to the fabulous landscape.

The setting and luxury of this property is what makes it so special and must be viewed to be appreciated. Please call Fine & Country, Hitchin to book your appointment.
