Description

Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Woodside, this beautiful six bedroom detached family home is set behind a gated entrance and approached from its own long private driveway overlooking fields where horses graze. Mulberry House has not been on the market for 19 years and offers the unique opportunity to own a modern home in a well-located but totally private and tranquil setting.

The modern design of Mulberry House is complimented by high quality finishes and fabulous views over the gardens and fields that wrap around the home. As you enter the property, you are greeted by an incredibly spacious entrance hall with a stunning imperial oak staircase that excludes the style and elegance of the house.

Arranged over the ground floor are four spacious reception rooms the lounge, library, tv room and dining room. The bright and spacious kitchen is truly amazing- bespoke design and built by John Ladbury with high end appliances-Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, Gaggenau ovens, Miele hob and Quooker tap . A large utility room leads off from the kitchen as you would expect from a property of this calibre.

The first floor has a fabulous gallery landing with the oculus roof light flooding the landing and entrance hall with natural light. All bedrooms have bespoke furniture-the beautiful principal bedroom has a balcony, dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and en suite, the second bedroom suite has its own shower room whilst bedrooms three and four share a gorgeous “Jack and Jill” shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The three main bedrooms have air conditioning and there is under floor heating throughout.

The plot is over 1.5 acres and has a triple garage with loft, a brick-built outbuilding currently used for the tractor, bikes and lawn mowers but could be changed to a gym, whilst there is parking for numerous cars if needed. The adjoining fields are used by the local livery stables and so this home would suit horse owners and those wishing to horse ride.

The gardens are truly amazing; the current owners have transformed a field into a plantsman’s delight. With the help of award-winning designers and influenced by the Dutch landscaper Piet Oudolf, the gardens look fabulous all year round. The main rear garden has a large terracing for entertaining with a formal fountain and pond. The gravel path leads to a natural pond which is a home to wildlife and leads you round the rest of the garden. En route there are various seating areas to enjoy views and the sun or shade depending on the seasons. The Hartley Botanic brick base greenhouse with raised vegetable beds and many fruit trees (apples, pears, cherries, figs and plumbs) provides crops for the home and enables the garden to be enjoyed all year round. Mulberry House’s kitchen has French doors opening onto the “oak tree” lawn that has further paths and terracing. The oak tree is about 500 years old and is a beautiful feature from many rooms of the house. The front driveway and turning circle are surrounded by roses and clematis and underplanted with spring flowering bulbs and perennials and punctuated with Japanese maples. The driveway entrance has a woodland garden with a collection of further maples, hellebores and rhododendrons and camelias to name but a few. The garden also has a 90 meter bore hole pumping water to an underground tank to feed the automatic irrigation system.

This property is truly a hidden gem, offering a secluded sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Historical Note
The property is located on the borders of the Salisbury Estate, a magnificent 1500 acres of unspoilt countryside. Once the childhood playground of royalty, it is now home to the Marquess of Salisbury. It was here, sitting by an oak tree, that Queen Elizabeth1 learned of her accession to the throne.

One of the areas earliest success stories is that of John Church, a labourers son who was born in 1724 and brought up in a cottage at Woodside. He went to London to find his fortune and on his return, bought the estate of Woodside Place, on which stood the cottage where he was born. He built a mansion on the estate and became a gentleman, thereby justifying the phrase, Local boy makes good. Woodside Hall is based on his 18th Century mansion.

Location: Woodside is well located within easy reach of Brookmans Park with its shops that surround the village green. There are excellent transport links within easy reach, including mainline train stations at Brookmans Park and Potters Bar with access to Moorgate and Kings Cross. Educational facilities in the area include Stormont, Lochinver, Dame Alice Owen, Haileybury, Haberdashers Askes schools for boys and girls and Queenswood.

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation 0 logo

With five networked Hertfordshire and North London branches and associated offices in Mayfair, Statons are perfectly placed to showcase all that this wonderful region has to offer for an unparalleled quality of life.

These offices are not franchised with the limitations that imposes, each office is a key component of the Statons team, with constant communication ensuring that everyone knows which properties are on the market across the entire area.

This is a sophisticated part of the world with the huge added benefit of being equally within reach of both Central London and some of our loveliest countryside, as well as enjoying easy access to excellent transport links – all three major London airports are a short distance away.

It is little surprise to us at Statons that continued interest in relocating to our part of the world simply increases year on year. As you might expect, this is matched by the availability of superb schooling, shopping, restaurants and hotels and clients seek to benefit from the area’s fantastic amenities by buying from our extensive portfolio of stunning properties.

A wealth of experience lies behind our agency and while we move with the times, our philosophy remains unshakeable. We see the whole picture as a service to people: a home is not just a building, but a place for living. When matching homes to people it is their needs and lifestyle we look at first and foremost and we can offer comprehensive information about the locality, specifically tailored to each individual and unique situation we meet.

If you do not know the area, why not take advantage of our drive round tours which can be arranged from any of our five offices. Not only is this a quick and effective way to see a number of our properties, but we will also show you the proximity to schools, transport links, shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.

As an obvious extension of our love for the area and its lifestyle, we are the only agency in the area with a dedicated New Homes and Land department and we are also now operating a very successful Premier Lettings division. The lettings expertise we can provide is just one more way in which this superb location can be offered to those who would like to move here and we welcome enquiries for this, as we do for all our other properties.

It is a privilege to be able to share this fabulous way of life with you.

The Statons Team

We appreciate our local community and enjoy an extensive involvement with all sorts of initiatives and activities. Statons’ participation in local events gives us immense pleasure as being a central part of the local community and we are therefore proud of the following associations: We are sponsors of, amongst others, The Hadley Wood Association, Potters Bar Crusaders Under 13’s, Hadley Wood Tennis Club, Barnet Rugby Club and Hadley Rangers Football Club. In addition there are fetes at Essendon and Brookmans Park, and we support many local charities including making donations to help preserve the Barnet Church spire. We also help provide a much loved annual event; the firework display at Hadley Wood Association. A natural by-product of our involvement is the knowledge and opportunities we are able to pass on to our clients.

With such a long standing history in the area, Statons knowledge of the local market and the people who live here is unequalled. Such is our confidence, clients are invited and actively encouraged to visit our offices to see for themselves just how many potential buyers and properties we have registered in your area, or even you road and to see how many people place their trust in the Statons name. This is just a small measure of confidence that the company has in our ability to serve you at every level of the market.

All of the team have an in-depth knowledge of the locality and the range of services available giving them the opportunity to talk to you and potential clients about the local schools, transport links and facilities.

From cottages to country estates is not just a strapline, it is a genuine measure of the wide range of homes in the Statons portfolio and you can be assured that every client receives the same exacting standards of service and dedication to detail.

When you choose to work with Statons, you engage the services of their entire team – each member sharing common goals and working together for their clients satisfaction. Each branch is a component part of the whole team, continually sharing information on properties and matching them with eager buyers. Investment in modern technology, dedicated computer programming and websites provide valuable communication tools but shall never be seen as a replacement for traditional service and the all important personal touch.

Across our offices you will find a team of hard working, dedicated individuals all chosen for their knowledge and desire to underpin the Statons service ethos.

Statons estate agents have worked in the local community for over 25 years and we are proud of our long standing reputation not only for the successful sale of so many properties but for our integrity and dedication to customer service.

We believe that every client is important and fully understand that buying or selling your home is one of the most emotive and important decisions that you will make in your lifetime. Despite our success and continued growth, at no time have we lost sight of this core ethos and allowed the all important personal attention that drives us forward to become absorbed by a sea of commercialism.

We treat every client as unique and apply the highest standards to every situation in the belief that empathy, understanding and a thoroughly established rapport are the key elements to a successful outcome. We take time to get to know our clients, whether they be buying, selling or letting and by building a knowledge for their requirements we can help to ease the whole property process. Our business is all about you – our valued clients – and whilst our growth and success are an endearing recognition of our achievements, of greater importance is the satisfaction of our clients and the strength of our on-going relationship with them.

Communication is the key to our success and whatever your property requirements, we invite you to talk to us, share our knowledge and experience and allow us to ensure that your sale or purchase is both successful and uncomplicated. We have an extensive team of dedicated individuals throughout our offices and you can be assured of their very finest attention.

We look forward to being of service to you.
