Set on a substantial roadside plot in sought-after Bricket Wood, this detached chalet-style bungalow offers generous family accommodation across 1,554 sq ft. The house features a spacious reception room with a multi-fuel stove, a conservatory overlooking the mature rear garden, and five bedrooms across ground and first floors — useful for multi-generational living or flexible home working.
The property is well placed for local amenities, fast broadband, and highly regarded schools, making it a practical choice for families. Off-street parking for several cars, double gated side access, and a brick-built garage add useful storage and parking convenience. There is also clear scope to enlarge or reconfigure the footprint subject to planning (potential for further expansion STPP).
Buyers should note the home dates from the 1930s–1940s and is of traditional solid-brick construction; the walls are assumed uninsulated and the interior will benefit from modernisation to improve energy efficiency. The current EPC is mid-range (67) with potential to 79. Council tax is described as expensive. These are realistic considerations for anyone budgeting renovation or energy-improvement works.
Overall this chalet bungalow will suit families who value space, schools and plot size and who are happy to invest in modernising and insulating a character property. For those seeking immediate turn-key condition, some updating will be required; for buyers wanting to add value, the plot and dormer accommodation present tangible potential.
