Set across two levels inside you will find a lounge/dining room which has double doors looking out onto the garden, a separate kitchen/breakfast room which is also dual aspect with windows to both the front and rear. Upstairs, in addition to the two double bedrooms is a large family bathroom and plenty of storage.
Externally is a separate garage, parking and beautiful communal gardens. These gardens with a paved patio-terrace can be accessed directly from the lounge and provide attractive views throughout the house.
Offered to the market with NO UPPER CHAIN phone for further details and to arrange a viewing.
History of Antoinette Court
In 1929, the farmland between Abbots Langley and Bedmond was acquired by A Wander Ltd to provide fresh eggs, milk and barley for the Ovaltine Factory in Kings Langley.
New buildings were constructed which emulated the style of the farm built by Louis XVI for his queen Marie Antoinette.
The new buildings in Abbots Langley comprised the Model Poultry Farm, where 50,000 White Leghorn pullets were reared to lay eggs, and the Model Dairy Farm which boasted a prize-winning dairy herd of Jersey cows.
The cows were milked by hand in the circular milking parlour and were trained to press a button with their muzzles for running water to appear in their bowls.
The converted milking parlour was renamed Antoinette Court, a tribute to a queen whose fantasy farm at Hameau de la Reine (the Queens Hamlet) was resented by her starving subjects but whose aesthetic architectural legacy survives to this day in the grounds of Chateau de Versailles and more recently in the countryside of Abbots Langley.
