Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom detached family home is well-presented and occupies a peaceful cul-de-sac location in the desirable Swillett area of Chorleywood. While the asking price of £789,950 is notably above the local average at £696/sqf compared to £578/sqf, the property boasts a generous garden and spacious living areas that enhance its appeal. The home is in good condition throughout, featuring a modern kitchen and well-proportioned bedrooms, making it a comfortable residence as is.

The existing planning permission for a double-storey side and rear extension offers significant potential to transform this property into a substantial five-bedroom family home. This presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to add value through renovation.
