4 Bedroom Detached House

Ashbourne Lodge, Hatfield Forest – A Bespoke Gated Retreat

Tucked away in a discreet, highly private setting just moments from Hatfield Forest, Ashbourne Lodge is a one-of-a-kind, architect-designed residence offering generous space, elegant finishes, and wraparound gardens – all securely accessed via a private gated entrance.

The approach sets the tone: a long drive opens to an expansive parking area accommodating up to ten vehicles, framed by manicured lawns and mature trees. Step across the front patio and into a grand entrance hall, where floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to cascade through the home. This impressive space features deluxe windows to the front and rear, and an open landing above that adds to the sense of light and scale.

To the right, the main living room offers a warm, inviting feel, with patio doors opening onto a secluded terrace, a feature media wall, ambient downlighting, and a fireplace – perfect for quiet evenings. Opposite lies the true heart of the home: a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and family space with triple aspect light, bi-fold doors, and stylish white tile flooring that amplifies the brightness. Natural timber beams add texture and charm, while the kitchen itself boasts integrated appliances, including fridge, dishwasher, twin ovens, and an induction hob. A separate utility room provides further space, with washing machine, dryer, freezer, and side garden access.

To the left of the entrance hall, a hallway leads past the downstairs WC into a spacious ground-floor bedroom currently used as the principal suite. Here, a statement tinted glass wall allows for both openness and privacy, while wooden flooring, built-in wardrobes, a vanity area, and a luxury wet-room style ensuite complete the space. A storage cupboard within this room houses the underfloor heating system.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to a further three bedrooms. To the right, a generous double bedroom features another glass wall, loft access, and is served by a contemporary family bathroom. To the left, the fourth bedroom – though the smallest – still offers generous proportions and a deluxe window. At the far end, a large double bedroom makes a strong case for being the true principal suite, with its own ensuite shower room, additional storage, and views across the peaceful garden.

This distinctive home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and design-led architecture – all within a stone’s throw of ancient woodlands and walking trails. Offered chain free and ready to move into, Ashbourne Lodge is the perfect retreat for those seeking something truly special.
