From A Military Hospital To A Handsome Family Home

25 Jun 2019

His father said to him when he purchased No.2 Half Acres: “That house will either kill
you or bankrupt you, if not both!” There were times when Simon Stevens, local
businessman and owner of this prestigious town house in Bishop’s Stortford, thought
maybe he was right.

Simon and his wife, Tanya, bought this tired but handsome Grade II Listed Georgian
house through Mullucks Wells in 2006 with the intention of creating a lovely family
home for them and their young son.

Built in 1780, it had been regarded as one of the finest homes in the town. However, during the last century, it had gradually become less practical as a family home and needed a serious rethink.

It had served as a hospital during the First World War and, with the exception of some decorative
maintenance and subtle structural repairs had received minimal updating since.

What the Stevens’ bought was, ultimately, a disjointed collection of rooms that no
longer worked for modern day living. A small and very cold kitchen was situated at the
side of the house looking out onto the road and there were several other small rooms
without any functional flow.

The two large principal reception rooms with their
beautiful bay windows overlooked the garden to the front and, to make the most of
these glorious views, it made sense to move the kitchen to the other side of the house
and open it out into one of these rooms creating a large kitchen, breakfast and family
Room among other refurbishments of this fully converted house.
