Wood End is a distinctive five-bedroom detached residence situated on a sought-after private road adjacent to the Ashridge Estate. Having been in the same ownership for nearly three decades, this property presents an exceptional chance for buyers seeking a substantial home with ample scope for refurbishment, extension, or potential redevelopment, pending necessary permissions. The ground floor offers versatile living spaces, including a dual-aspect sitting room, dining room, study, garden room, and family room. The kitchen and utility room add practicality to the layout, while a downstairs cloakroom enhances accessibility. An additional independent space above the family room can be transformed into another reception area or bedroom.
Upstairs features five bedrooms; the principal suite benefits from an en-suite bathroom, with two additional family bathrooms serving the other rooms. The home is enveloped by beautifully landscaped gardens set within approximately 1 acre of mature grounds that boast privacy and tranquility. A carriage driveway provides generous parking alongside a triple garage.
The outdoor environment includes various planting types, expansive lawns, and well-established trees that ensure seclusion. A rear patio area is perfect for entertaining guests while enjoying views of the sunken garden—a charming focal point. Additionally, an outdoor swimming pool remains on-site but currently non-operational, accompanied by a changing room facility.
Located on Frithsden Copse in a picturesque woodland backdrop linked to the Ashridge Estate’s vast National Trust land, this property balances serene rural living with easy access to Berkhamsted's amenities only 1.5 miles away.
