About this property

A period detached four/six bedroom house situated in an elevated position with a driveway, a separate double garage and wraparound gardens with far reaching views over the Hertfordshire countryside.

The house was built around 1929 as the lodge for a house called Gosmore Hill. It was extended in the 1970s and again by the present owners to offer approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of accommodation set over two floors with four ground floor reception rooms, two of which could be used as additional bedrooms.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In North Hertfordshire, 2026/27 bills run from £1,632 a year in band A to £4,897 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across North Hertfordshire, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
