Nestled in a mature plot of around an acre, this substantial mid-century family residence presents not only generous living space but also considerable opportunity for renovation and expansion, pending requisite planning approvals. The home has been cherished by the same owners for over two decades, ensuring a well-maintained structure while being enveloped by lush greenery that enhances its private and tranquil atmosphere.
Upon entry, you are greeted by a hallway leading to spacious reception areas. At the rear, the sitting room features an open fireplace and large sliding doors that seamlessly connect to the garden, complemented by beautiful parquet flooring. An adjoining family room provides additional living space with similar garden access, emphasizing the harmonious relationship between indoor and outdoor environments.
The kitchen at the front is fitted with modern units, including a range cooker, and connects to a dining area through an open archway. A practical utility room adds convenience to daily life.
On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms equipped with fitted wardrobes and pleasant views of either the rear garden or surrounding moorland. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious with dual aspects and an en suite shower room. A family bathroom, along with an additional shower room, serve the other bedrooms.
The garden spans approximately 450ft and is one of the property's standout features—richly planted for privacy with mature trees, established shrubs, and expansive lawns. A terrace adjacent to the house offers ideal space for outdoor dining or entertaining. Additional features include a greenhouse and vegetable garden.
Situated about 120ft from Box Lane, there is ample parking available on the driveway as well as a double garage. Despite its serene setting, this property boasts excellent accessibility; Hemel Hempstead station is roughly a mile away on foot for direct trains to London, while nearby Berkhamsted offers diverse shops and cafés along with easy access to nature.
Properties of this scale and maturity are rare in such strategic locations. This home offers clear potential for contemporary updates or reimagining its layout—coupled with its enchanting natural surroundings making it an appealing investment opportunity.
