Set on a substantial plot on the edge of Gustard Wood Common, this four-bedroom detached house offers generous family accommodation and clear scope to tailor the home to your needs. The ground floor centres on a 30’ triple-aspect lounge, separate dining room, kitchen with adjoining utility, cloakroom and an attached double garage — practical spaces for everyday family life and entertaining.
Upstairs there are four sizable bedrooms, including a principal with en suite, and a family bathroom. Large windows and mid-century proportions create light-filled rooms throughout, and the plot backs onto open countryside with mature boundaries for privacy. The property sits well back from the road with a long driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles.
Built in the mid-20th century and offered freehold, the house benefits from mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), cavity wall construction and double glazing (installation date unknown). There is potential to extend further, subject to planning consent, making this a good prospect for a growing family seeking more space or for someone wanting to add value by modernising parts of the home.
Buyers should note the property’s age and that internal condition cannot be fully assessed from the external information supplied; some updating may be required. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall this is a spacious, well-located family home in a very affluent, low-crime village setting with good local schools and convenient access to Harpenden and rail links to London.
