Description

Nestled in a serene development off Stratford Road, this substantial four-bedroom detached residence spans over 2,000 sq ft of adaptable living space and comes with the advantage of no onward chain. The home is structured around a generous central hallway, with the ground floor featuring a kitchen equipped with integrated appliances and an adjoining utility room. The dining and living rooms both overlook the secluded rear garden, with the latter opening up through French doors. Additional ground floor spaces include a study, a flexible playroom, and a convenient guest cloakroom. On the first floor, you will find four spacious double bedrooms, three of which have built-in wardrobes for added convenience. The principal suite includes an en-suite shower room, complemented by a family bathroom accessible from the landing. Externally, this property boasts a double garage and two driveways that offer ample off-street parking options. A tranquil paved garden with mature borders provides a peaceful retreat outside. While this home has been well cared for by its current owners, it presents considerable opportunities for enhancement. Prospective buyers may consider various updates from simple cosmetic improvements to more extensive modernizations. There is potential to reconfigure the space to create an expansive kitchen diner or family area (subject to appropriate permissions). With desirable features such as double glazing and gas central heating already in place, this property represents an appealing investment opportunity in an excellent location close to Watford Junction and acclaimed schools like Nascot Wood Junior and Watford Grammar Schools.
