Description

This expansive six-bedroom detached family residence in the prestigious Cassiobury Estate presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and personalisation. Spanning over 3,770 sq ft (350 sq m), this property is set on a generous plot that not only allows for significant landscaping potential but also offers possibilities for extensions, ideal for creating a tailored living space in a desirable location. Although the home requires substantial updating, it features well-proportioned reception areas including an inviting drawing room, dining room, and family lounge, each enhanced by large bay or angled windows and high ceilings which can serve as a stunning backdrop for modern refinishing. The ground floor also includes a kitchen with direct access to utility spaces and the detached double garage, alongside a cloakroom/WC. Additionally, there’s a cellar that can be transformed into usable space subject to appropriate permissions. On the upper floors, five generous bedrooms await your design vision, with an en-suite potential in the principal suite and two more bedrooms plus a bathroom on the top level conducive to guest accommodation or an office setup. Nestled on a serene tree-lined street near Cassiobury Park and conveniently close to Watford’s transport links and reputable schools, this home is primed for transformation into an exceptional family dwelling reflecting personal style.
