As excitement builds in the run-up to this month’s Royal Wedding, all eyes are fixed on the exclusive lifestyle enjoyed by Prince William and his bride-to-be, as the nation is left wondering what living in a palace would be like. Award-winning restoration specialist, City & Country Group, is making these royal aspirations a reality for budding house hunters, presenting the opportunity to enjoy a slice of the regal lifestyle at its range of stunning properties at Balls Park in Hertford, a converted 17th Century mansion.
The one and two bedroom apartments and homes at the Balls Park development were previously a 17th Century mansion house and its coach house and stables buildings, and have been carefully restored to a superior standard. Combining high-quality contemporary interior design with an abundance of traditional architectural features, each home is unique and offers a complementary blend of modern living in a beautiful historic setting. Featuring bespoke kitchens, wool carpets, and intricate architectural features, these properties evoke an atmosphere of elegant importance to make residents feel like royalty.
Helen Moore, Residential Managing Director of City & Country Group, comments: “Offering a wealth of original features as well as modern interior décor, the homes at Balls Park offer the best of both worlds for prospective buyers wanting a period home but with all the contemporary trappings. The development has been extremely popular with a variety of purchasers, from retired couples wanting a relaxed life of luxury, to young first-time buyers seeking a property that makes a statement. Situated in buildings of historical importance, these homes are in a league of their own, and we are confident that they will sell very quickly.”
Balls Park is set in 63 acres of picturesque Grade II listed parkland, which features on the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Each of the homes will have access to the private gardens and historic parkland, giving purchasers a rare opportunity to live within an historic country mansion without the typical responsibilities of maintaining an estate of its size. The estate has also been used as a location for the films ‘The Young Victoria’, ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘The Golden Compass’, as well as several television series, including ‘Foyles War’, ‘The Inspector Linley Mysteries’ and ‘Bleak House’.
Balls Park is an exclusive community, and provides the perfect location with Hertford town centre just a short 10-minute walk away, where there are a variety of shops, restaurants and cafés. Whilst Kings Cross, Moorgate and London Liverpool Street are all accessed easily in under 50 minutes by train from Hertford with two separate train lines.
Prices at Balls Park start from £232,500. For more information about the properties available at the devlopment, please contact the on-site Sales Suite on: 01992 551 777, or visit: www.cityandcountry.co.uk.
