Packhorse Lane, Ridge, Nr. South Mimms, EN6 3LX

IDEAL SELF-BUILD - Design & Build A Dream Home (STPP)

Nestling in a rural fold in the Hertfordshire countryside, between Shenley & South Mimms, is this unique, (but externally lacking attention and essential maintenance) DETACHED 3000 sq. ft family home of FOUR bedrooms, THREE bathrooms and with ample downstairs accommodation. The house sits in the NE corner of an approximate 7-acre plot, comprising gardens (somewhat overgrown) a large pond, and open pasture extending into woodlands westwards from the entrance on Packhorse Lane in an expanded ox-bow shape. The SE boundary of the plot is bordered by Catherine Bourne brook.

This is an ideal opportunity to design and build a substantial replacement home, STPP (subject to planning permission).
