Set on a large, mature plot on one of Rickmansworth’s most sought-after roads, this substantial six-bedroom detached house offers flexible family living across about 2,660 sq ft. The re-fitted kitchen/family area sits at the heart of the home and flows to three separate reception rooms — useful for formal entertaining, a home office and children's play. Mature, well-stocked gardens and a private driveway with an integral double garage complete the outside space.
The principal suite includes a dressing room and en‑suite shower, supported by five further bedrooms upstairs. Practical details that will matter to buyers: the property is freehold, connected to mains gas with gas boiler and radiators, sits in Council Tax Band H, and has fast broadband with average mobile signal. The house was built in the mid-20th century and has been well cared for by the long-term owners, retaining period proportions and character.
Important considerations: there are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms, so expanding facilities may be needed for larger families. The house’s construction date (c.1950–66) means some systems and finishes may benefit from updating — buyers should budget for modernization where required. Council Tax is high (Band H) which increases running costs.
This location will particularly suit families seeking excellent school catchment and good commuter links, while buyers looking for long-term space and scope for gentle refurbishment will find substantial potential. Viewings recommended for anyone wanting a large, characterful home with privacy and generous outdoor space in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
