Description

This chalet-style detached house, built around 1924, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Featuring three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property boasts three spacious reception areas, each with the potential to be reimagined or extended further (pending planning approval). Situated on a generous corner plot in Garston, Watford, the location provides convenient access to local amenities, Garston Park's picturesque woodlands, and several reputable schools, making it ideal for families seeking both space and convenience. Upon entry, you are greeted by a charming country-style front garden leading into an enclosed storm porch and a welcoming entrance hall. The bright lounge/dining room offers a generous 26'10" of double-aspect views with direct garden access — perfect for modern living. A cozy family room equipped with a feature fireplace adds to the appeal as an additional leisure space. The kitchen opens into a versatile breakfast room that has been repurposed as a study but could easily serve its original function or be fitted with new designs. A ground floor bathroom is also available at this level. Upstairs, discover three proportionate bedrooms accompanied by a shower room. The rear garden features a decked patio that leads onto a lawn surrounded by mature flower beds — ideal for outdoor activities or entertaining. This property not only offers significant living space but also ample opportunity for further enhancement and personalization. Internal viewing is highly recommended to grasp the full potential this home holds.
