The Main House Great Hyde Hall is an imposing Grade II* Listed mansion based upon an Elizabethan courtyard house extensively remodelled by Sir Jeffry Wyatville for the second Earl of Roden in the early 19th century. Set in a prominent position on high ground in about 40 acres on the eastern outskirts of Sawbridgeworth, the house is approached via electric gates along a meandering tree-lined driveway. The drive extends past the house to car parks for residents and visitors and on past converted stables and garden houses towards playing fields and stabling. Apartment 3 is one of three on the ground floor of the Main House and extends along most of the eastern elevation looking out onto the formal gardens. There is a grand communal central hall, lit by a high domed sky light, which provides access to Apartment 3 to the right of a broad staircase. The door to the apartment opens onto an inner hall with cloakroom and then to a reception hall with high ceiling and shuttered French windows opening onto formal gardens. There are tall mahogany double doors opening into the drawing room which is a fine, generously proportioned room with deep fireplace, ornate plasterwork, mahogany panelling and tall shuttered windows which accentuate the grand style of the room. At the far end of the room is a garden hall with French windows opening onto a terrace, traditionally used only by the occupants of Apartment 3. The garden hall opens onto a utility with under stair cupboards.The kitchen/breakfast room lies towards the centre of the apartment and has three sash windows overlooking the terrace and formal gardens, a wood burning stove and kitchen cupboards. It would benefit from complete re-fitting and re-design, subject to consents. There are three bedrooms, two double and one single; the master bedroom with a hand basin and adjoining en suite bathroom. There is a modern shower room, a separate w/c and an airing cupboard, also housing the gas boiler and water tank. A door from the corridor leads to the back yard, which provides a direct route to a communal cellar and the car parks.
The grounds are a special feature and provide an outstanding setting. There are formal gardens with neo-classical furniture, a secluded water garden with ponds, woodland, orchard, paddocks, stabling for horses (by arrangement), a meadow, a cricket field, two tennis courts, a croquet lawn and a back drive with plots for vegetable gardens (by arrangement).
