Set on one of Brookmans Park’s premier roads, this gated five-bedroom detached home offers immediate curb appeal and substantial scope. The property already provides over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation with four reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, utility and cloakroom, plus a self-contained annexe in the garden — ideal for multi-generational living or rental income.
A major value driver is the approved planning permission to extend the house to around 10,000 sq ft, creating an exceptional opportunity to build a large luxury residence (plans available on request). The plot stretches over 100 ft with mature landscaping, a long driveway, and an integral double garage — privacy and parking are strong selling points for families and downsizers seeking space and security.
There are some practical considerations to note. Broadband speeds are reported as slow; the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls with assumed partial insulation, which may mean further energy-efficiency upgrades would be beneficial. The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while largely well maintained, offers clear scope for modernization or a bespoke refurbishment to realise the full potential of the approved extension.
Chain-free and located within walking distance of the village centre and mainline station, this home suits buyers looking for a large family residence with substantial expansion potential or investors planning a high-value conversion. Local schools, green space and leisure facilities add to the location’s appeal.
