Set on one of Hempstead’s most desirable roads, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers over 2,700 sq ft of upgraded living designed for both everyday family life and social entertaining. A vaulted entrance and generous proportions create an immediate sense of space while a large, block-paved driveway and double garage provide exceptional parking and storage.
The heart of the home is a 27 ft open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with island, log burner and bi-fold doors that flow to a low-maintenance south-facing wrap-around garden. A separate 22 ft games/bar room with glass roof, air-conditioning and French doors provides a year-round entertainment space. Practicality is well catered for with a 17 ft utility/boot room and retained garage storage (utility plus 17 ft storage area).
Upstairs the principal suite is intentionally generous, with a near-20 ft bedroom, roll-top bath area, walk-in wardrobe and a cloakroom with underfloor heating. Three further double bedrooms (one en-suite with underfloor heating) and a luxury family bathroom complete the first floor. Local amenities include Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre within walking distance and good commuter links via the M2/M20 and Rainham station for London.
Notable considerations are factual: the property sits in an area reporting above-average crime, and the council tax band is high (Council Tax F). The glass roof in the games/bar and the larger paved driveway/garden areas will need routine maintenance and periodic checks. EPC rating C (73) reflects reasonable efficiency but not the highest standard.
This freehold home will suit buyers seeking substantial, immediately habitable accommodation with strong entertaining spaces, easy external upkeep and excellent transport connections. It particularly appeals to families who value space, storage and proximity to schools and retail facilities.
