Picturesque living with superb road and rail links...

Scholars Walk is a select development offering a range of 3, 4 & 5 bedroom houses on the Hertfordshire Essex borders. Situated just four miles south of Bishop’s Stortford, the picturesque and historic town of Sawbridgeworth dates beyond the Domesday Book. Granted to Geoffrey deMandeville by William the Conqueror following the Battle of Hastings, its rich farming land made it one of the wealthiest village communities in England at that time. Throughout the middle ages a number of important medieval families owned manors here. The town has links to many historical figures,
including Anne Boleyn, who once owned the Pishobury estate on the south of the town, and John Leventhorpe, executor to King Henry V’s will.

Today many beautiful buildings line the banks of the river Stort in the centre of the town, some dating back to Tudor, Stuart and Georgian times. The Great St Mary’s Church, originally built in the 13th century, with a Tudor bell tower added later, today boasts one of the finest collections of
church monuments in the country.

The town’s busy high street offers a range of shops and cafes along with a regular farmer’s market twice a month. In and around the town are numerous restaurants, bars and public houses. Sporting and recreational facilities abound in the area, including the nearby Manor of Groves Golf & Country
Club, Sawbridgeworth Town Football Club, a Tennis Club and several gyms. The town is well known for its Cricket Club at Town Fields, one of the leading clubs in the region, with a thriving colts section competing in the Hertfordshire youth leagues.

A perfect location for family living, Sawbridgeworth has several very good schools, including Fawbert & Barnard Infant School, Reedings Junior School, Mandeville Primary School and the highly regarded Leventhorpe Secondary School.

The development is centred around an attractive landscaped green and the properties are of a traditional Essex design style providing 3 bedroom semi and detached houses together with larger 4 and 5 bedroom detached homes.
