No. 6 Orme Court is located on the right-hand side as you enter through the gates and there are two allocated parking spaces along with a visitor's parking space available on a first-come first-served basis. The entrance to the property is welcoming with bespoke iron railings with steps leading down to a gate providing side access.

Once inside, you are greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hall with fitted carpet, stairs rising to the first floor accommodation and stairs leading down to the lower entrance hallway. The secure alarm system is also positioned in the entrance hall with a wall-mounted control unit.

Moving down into the lower entrance hallway, this features grey wood effect laminate flooring, a large under-stairs storage cupboard and spotlights. Doors provide access to the utility room, shower room/WC, third bedroom and the stunning open-plan kitchen/living/dining space which really needs to be viewed in the flesh to be appreciated.

Now we head into the open-plan kitchen/living/dining room which is clearly the hub of this home with a fantastic sociable space ideal for entertaining and socialising with friends and family. There are three designated areas all of which offer under-floor heating and although it's an open-plan space there's a division between the three areas which works very well. The living area is cosy offering spotlights, TV point and ample space for furniture.

There's a range of built-in wardrobes along with space for a dressing table with the room featuring fitted carpet and spotlights.

LOCATION - ESSENDON
Essendon is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, 6 miles south-west of Hertford. For commuting, there is a direct train service to London’s Kings Cross and Moorgate from Brookmans Park and Potters Bar Stations.

The village is on the B158 road 330 feet (100m) above sea level and has a view of the Lea Valley to the north. Although on an ancient site, St Mary's parish church dates mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries and was restored in 1883. The west tower dates from the 15th century and has eight bells, the oldest cast in 1681. There is a village pub named The Rose and Crown.

Historic houses in the parish include Camfield Place which was the home of the novelist Barbara Cartland and visited by Beatrix Potter. Nearby is Holwell Court, a Grade II listed building, built in about 1900 for Sir Ernest George; it is now converted to private apartments.

Essendon Place was the seat of the Barons Dimsdale of Russia; Thomas Dimsdale was an expert on the treatment of smallpox by inoculation and in 1768 he was invited to Russia to inoculate Catherine the Great. For his services there he was made a baron of the Russian Empire.[3]

Bedwell Park is another manor house near to the village and is also the site of Essendon Country Club golf club. Bedwell End was the home of Deneys Reitz, High Commissioner for the Union of South Africa, until his death on 19 October 1944. At the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Boer War he joined the Boer forces at the age of seventeen and accompanied General J. C. Smuts on his famous raid in the Cape Colony, of which Reitz wrote in his autobiography, Commando. In World War I, as a lieutenant-colonel, he commanded the 1st Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front in France.

Essendon, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, is named after the village. Richard Green (1808-1878), whose father Isaac Green was either owner or tenant of Essendon watermill on the River Lea, arrived in Victoria in the 1850s and gave the name to the district.
