This substantial five-bedroom detached home on Shearwater Road combines generous family space with high-spec contemporary finishes. The ground floor centres on a show-stopping semi open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining area with bi-fold doors to a private landscaped garden, complemented by three reception rooms and a dedicated study — ideal for family life and home working. The property extends to circa 2,500 sq ft across three floors, offering flexible layouts and practical utility and boot-room space.
The principal suite and additional four bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors with three further bathrooms plus a ground-floor shower room; all sanitary fittings are finished to a high standard. Practical benefits include a double garage, ample driveway parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and modern family routines. The location provides easy access to Hemel Hempstead town centre, commuter routes to London and a strong selection of local schools.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area recorded with higher local crime levels and the council tax band is above average, which will affect ongoing costs. The frontage is modest, so the most private and usable outside space is the enclosed rear garden rather than a large formal front lawn. The home is offered in near show‑home condition, but buyers wanting a larger street presence or very low-crime neighbourhood should verify local statistics and suitability.
Overall, this is a well-presented family house that balances elegant period-inspired styling with modern fittings and layout flexibility. It will suit families wanting immediate move-in quality, good commuter links and private rear outdoor space, while those prioritising low neighbourhood crime or a grander front plot may want to consider these factors before viewing.
