This extended detached residence offers a substantial 2,300 sq ft of adaptable living space and presents numerous opportunities for remodeling and expansion, pending necessary planning permissions. Situated on an ample plot that includes a large driveway and integral garage, this three-bedroom home is ideally suited for families looking to customize their living environment or enhance its market value.
Notably, this property boasts a distinctive history as it was featured in John Betjeman’s celebrated ‘Metroland’ documentary and originally constructed to accommodate the Empire Leicester Square Wurlitzer organ. Inside, the ground floor comprises a spacious sitting room, a separate dining room with sliding doors leading to the rear garden, a study area, and a fitted kitchen paired with a utility room featuring a cloakroom and storage space. A notable highlight is the expansive full-height studio that formerly housed the organ pipes; this soundproofed area represents tremendous potential for conversion into extra living accommodation or diverse usages such as a music studio, gym, or workshop (subject to planning permission).
The first floor provides three generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite complete with dressing room and en suite shower facilities, alongside a family bathroom.
The outdoor space features a primarily lawned rear garden interspersed with mature trees and hedging—perfect for family activities or hosting gatherings. A paved patio area complements the garden along with sizable garden sheds for additional storage.
Located in an attractive residential neighborhood on the outskirts of the Cedars Estate, this home strikes a balance between spaciousness, potential enhancement opportunities, and practicality in both serene surroundings and convenient access to local amenities such as the William Penn Leisure Centre. The nearby towns of Rickmansworth and Chorleywood offer an array of restaurants, cafes, shops—including major retailers—and scenic countryside walks at Chorleywood Common and the Chess Valley. Transport links are excellent via Rickmansworth and Chorleywood Stations servicing both the Metropolitan Line and Chiltern Turbo routes. Furthermore, there are reputable schools within easy reach for both state and private education.
