Old Hall Farm, Kettle Green Lane, Much Hadham, Herts SG10 6AH
Grade II listed and believed to date back in parts to the late 16th century, this delightful period farmhouse offers much character with exposed timbers, brickwork and ornate pargeting on the exterior.
Extensively rebuilt in the 1980’s and 1990’s, the house has been sympathetically modernised and improved further by the current owners to give a stylish and up-to-date feel whilst retaining many of the original features and history.
Set at the end of a deep driveway flanked by paddocks on either side, there is a feature pond and turning area just in front of the house, with an area to the north set aside for the equestrian elements of the estate.
