We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Chain free - Set within the magnificent historic grounds of Hamels Mansion, this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom luxury apartment offers an elegant blend of Elizabethan heritage and contemporary design.
Nestled within approximately three acres of landscaped parkland and overlooking the neighbouring golf course, the property forms part of a beautifully restored Grade II listed mansion originally built in 1580 by John Brograve and once associated with land historically owned by Henry VIII.
Converted in recent years to an exacting standard, the apartment showcases generous proportions and high-quality finishes throughout.
Accessed via an impressive communal reception hall featuring a sweeping mahogany staircase, the home immediately conveys the grandeur of the original mansion while offering modern luxury living.
At the heart of the property is a striking open-plan living and dining space, flooded with natural light and enjoying picturesque views across the surrounding parkland and golf course.
A bespoke Italian-designed kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated appliances sits seamlessly within the space, complemented by refined finishes and designer fittings.
The principal bedroom suite is beautifully appointed and features a luxurious en-suite bathroom, with a dressing area that enhance both style and practicality.
A second spacious double bedroom, together with fitted warbrobes is served by a contemporary family bathroom, making the apartment ideal for guests, family living, or a refined home office arrangement.
Residents benefit from secure entry, allocated parking and visitor spaces, as well as access to the landscaped communal grounds that surround the mansion.
The setting provides a tranquil countryside lifestyle while remaining well connected, with the nearby A10 offering convenient routes to both London and Cambridge and rail links available from nearby Ware and Hertford.
Combining centuries of architectural heritage with modern luxury finishes, this remarkable apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a home within one of Hertfordshire's most characterful historic residences-perfect as a primary residence, countryside retreat, or elegant lock-up-and-leave property.
Certain furnishings, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation and can be discussed with the seller.
