The Laurels: Elegant Victorian Gem With A Blend Of History And Modern Features
The Laurels is a beautifully extended four-bedroom Victorian home, originally built in the late 1880s for the Lord Salisbury Estate. Constructed for Mr. Starkey, the estate engineer, this historical property remained in his family's care until 1975. Featuring an original coach house at the rear, the house was extended shortly after its construction to incorporate the coach house into the main dwelling.
Nestled in Mill Green, between Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, The Laurels benefits from a desirable location. Once part of the Hatfield House Estate, many properties in Mill Green are now privately owned. The area is conveniently separated from the Hatfield estate by the A414, and Hatfield mainline station is just over a mile away, providing excellent commuter services to London, Cambridge, and Peterborough.
The main house offers a spacious and well-appointed layout. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, snug room, cloakroom, conservatory, bespoke kitchen, garden room, and utility room. On the first floor, you will find four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as a family bathroom.
Externally, The Laurels is set within a mature, well-maintained wrap-around garden. A large gravelled driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage. Additionally, The Laurels features a fully self-contained annexe, ideal for guests or extended family. The annexe includes a private entrance, a bedroom, and a shower room, offering complete independence and privacy from the main house.
While The Laurels retains much of its historic charm, a degree of modernisation would further enhance its appeal, making it a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary comfort.
