Set on a substantial plot directly opposite Monken Hadley Common, this spacious four-bedroom detached home blends classical proportions with everyday practicality. The large dual-aspect sitting room with marble fireplace and French doors opens to a sunny patio and mature garden — ideal for family living and entertaining. The property is offered chain free and benefits from easy access to Central London via nearby stations and major roads.
The ground floor includes a generous kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility/boot area, plus a formal dining room and a grand entrance hall that speaks to the house’s period-inspired style. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, a master with en-suite, family bathroom and plentiful fitted storage. The overall footprint of about 2,338 sq ft provides flexibility for a growing family or someone seeking sizable entertaining rooms.
Outside, a sweeping driveway, detached double garage and a 25ft workshop add useful ancillary space and significant conversion potential (subject to planning). The large, private garden with mature planting and patio offers a peaceful retreat directly beside woodland — a rare combination of suburban convenience and leafy privacy.
Practical considerations: the house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and, while solid and characterful, will reward modernisation to meet today’s energy and connectivity expectations. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is in a high band. Buyers seeking a move-in-perfect modern finish should factor likely updating costs into their plans.
