Description

Nestled within approximately 0.6 acres of mature gardens, this substantial Edwardian home offers a unique opportunity for thoughtful refurbishment and expansion, pending the necessary planning approvals. With a generous living space of around 2,778 sq ft, the property features three reception rooms, a kitchen, conservatory, utility area, cloakroom, five bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

The property's location is advantageous for access to Rickmansworth's amenities and commuter links into London via the local railway station.
