Set on a very large corner plot at the end of a semi-rural cul-de-sac, this newly renovated five-bedroom detached home delivers over 4,400 sq ft of flexible family living and elevated countryside views. The house is arranged over two floors with generous reception rooms, a high-quality refitted kitchen/breakfast room, multiple studies and a principal suite with extensive fitted wardrobes and a generous five-piece ensuite. Landscaped lawns, a south-facing patio and a sweeping 360° driveway complete the picture for outdoor family life and entertaining.
Practical strengths include a double garage, ample driveway parking and four bathrooms to serve a large household. The property already has planning permission to reconfigure the garage and service spaces to create an additional double garage, a gym conversion and a front-to-back kitchen/dining/family room — useful for buyers who want to add value or alter the layout to suit modern open-plan living.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not on a community supply) and walls were originally built as cavity with no added insulation (assumed). Broadband in the area is slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home working or streaming. Council tax is described as expensive. Those drawbacks are offset by low local crime, good nearby schools and the secluded hamlet setting with quick access to Ashridge and Berkhamsted.
This home suits an established family looking for space, privacy and countryside living with scope for modest further improvement or layout changes under the existing planning permission. It will also appeal to buyers who value outdoor space and extensive internal square footage in a peaceful village setting.
