Set behind a sweeping gravel drive on Newlands Avenue, this substantial 1930s detached house occupies over 1.2 acres of private, landscaped grounds — including a floodlit tennis court, swimming pool and extensive lawns. The main house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across two storeys with six reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast area that suit busy family life and entertaining. A self-contained annex with garage, games room and large upper living space provides flexible accommodation for guests, staff or multi‑generational living.
The home has been extended and refurbished over time, presenting comfortable immediate living with clear potential to modernise further and extend (subject to planning consent). Practical features include mains gas central heating, ample off‑street parking and excellent digital connectivity. The plot’s size and seclusion are rare for the area, providing both play space and privacy within a small‑town setting close to top primary and independent schools.
Notable considerations are factual: the property has secondary glazing and solid brick walls with no built‑in cavity insulation assumed, so further energy upgrading may be required to improve thermal performance. Council tax is very expensive. Any buyer should allow for possible modernisation or structural updating depending on personal standards and future plans. Planning enquiries are recommended for extension potential.
This home will suit a large family seeking space, outdoors amenities and flexible annex living, or buyers looking for an executive country residence within easy reach of London. Its combination of period character, extensive grounds and amenity provision offers a rare opportunity in Radlett, balanced by foreseeable running and upgrade costs.
