Essendon Place, Essendon, Hertfordshire
"Originally the property of Lord Essendon this white colonnaded
Mansion House is set in manicured grounds (adjoining the late Barbara
Cartland's Estate) and is a superior example of a magnificent 20th century
home reflecting a fine blend of traditional architectural styles to
provide gracious, and generously proportioned loving accommodation.
The principal rooms feature ornate fireplaces with wood paneling and
detailed molded cornices and ceilings.
Essendon, is situated outside Bookmans Park (between Potters Bar and
Hatfield) in an exceptional affluent area. Hatfield Golf Club is sited
directly opposite.
Detailed planning consent has been obtained to refurbish the Manor House
into 3 magnificent units totaling app 19,000sq ft. Refurbishment of
2 detached Lodges and the creation of a further 6 substantial detached
houses. The development has an anticipated completion value of app £13m.
We have also seen a dramatic change in the requirements of the Insurers
in relation to empty properties. Initially we received an "exorbitant"
quote of £65,000 pa which we have only been able to reduce to
£ 25,000 pa by retaining a "live in" caretaker. In this
latter regard considering that we are making accommodation available
on a rent free basis, we have been able to secure a couple who are only
likely to cost us in the region of £5,000 pa.
