STEP INSIDE Fine & Country are delighted to offer for sale The Grays, a highly individual and beautifully appointed home, set within the outskirts of Ware. This charming property is beautifully decorated and offers generous accommodation, including four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a gorgeous country-style kitchen/breakfast room, a large study and enclosed walled gardens.

After stepping through the arched front door and storm porch the entrance hallway beyond is immediately eye-catching and with bold colours and thick cream carpets. It provides access to the downstairs cloakroom, study, dining room and living room. In addition on the ground floor is a gorgeous country-style kitchen/breakfast room with utility area.

The kitchen/breakfast room sets the tone for the rest of the property. As well as being a good size, the kitchen boasts a wealth of attractive features, including off-white country-style base and wall units, an island for extra storage and preparation space, stunning black granite work surfaces, and a lovely slate tiled floor. This is a very bright and airy room with a variety of integrated kitchen appliances, such as a dual oven, dishwasher and an attractive alcove area for a range oven. This room has a window and door that opens out onto the garden patio.

Much thought has been put into the interior design and this is telling with the dining area, an attractive room to enjoy a family meal. The staircase rising from this room to the first floor is a feature in itself with pretty, carved balustrades. It's a generous room with a wide feature fireplace with an ornate surround, as well as two windows and double French doors opening out onto the garden patio.

Similarly, the living room is an elegant and comfortable room with a magnificent brick inglenook style red brick fireplace with a heavy timber beam sits in a central position and houses a log burner and space for a log basket. A large window to the front aspect and a double set of French doors to the secluded courtyard style front garden create a lovely bright and airy space; perfect for relaxing and unwinding with a book or the daily papers. The study is equally a very bright area, and it is the fourth room within The Grays to benefit from French doors and side window panels which open out into the gardens.

Upstairs, the landing has several storage cupboards. The first floor further provides generously sized bedrooms. There is a lovely master bedroom suite, three further bedrooms together with the well appointed family bathroom.

The master suite is particularly notable with two windows to a dual aspect, excellent space for a variety of bedroom furniture, built in wardrobes and its own en suite, consisting of a shower cubicle, WC and hand basin.

The second, third and fourth bedrooms all benefit from built-in cupboards and windows to a garden aspect. Similarly to the rest of the property, the family bathroom is beautifully designed with floor and wall tiles, a window to a garden aspect and it comprises a separate bath with shower unit, and a matching WC and hand basin.

STEP OUTSIDE Outside, to the front, The Grays is accessed via a gated private road shared with a handful of other properties and there is a garage and space for two vehicles. The house itself offers a stunning and somewhat magical approach, with a short gravel pathway and steps to a front porch and door, all of which are surrounded by an array of mature shrubs, bushes, plants and flowers. The front patio, which can also be accessed from the living room French doors, is completely private and benefits from mature shrubs, hedges and well stocked borders providing colour and interest throughout the year.

The main garden is a particularly fine and whimsical feature, mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area, which is perfect for relaxing in the sun or entertaining guests, and it can be accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and study. The garden is separated from the patio by a white picket fence and opens up into a stunning, well-tended lawn with flower borders cut in on either side. Everywhere you look, there is such an array of colour in the rear garden, and the wall running along one edge leads off towards a gorgeous corner pergola, which is enveloped with climbing plants.

Situated a twenty-minute walk or a five-minute drive from the town centre of Ware, The Grays is well placed for those seeking a semi-rural setting, yet within easy reach of Ware station, restaurants, cafes and bars. The A414 and A10 provide first-class links to the M25 and the surrounding area, and the pretty market towns of Hertford and Bishops Stortford are all within easy reach, as well as access to excellent schooling throughout the East Herts area.
