Description

A six-bedroom detached chalet bungalow with approximately 4,135 sq ft of accommodation, set within a large, private plot in Elstree. Most of the accommodation is arranged on the ground floor, with further bedrooms or office space and a substantial loft area above. The existing layout includes several reception rooms, bedrooms and ancillary spaces, offering scope for refurbishment and remodelling to suit a new owner. The grounds include extensive outdoor space, off-street parking for several vehicles and a detached outbuilding with an enclosed swimming pool. The scale of the plot and existing footprint may also support more comprehensive redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. Any proposed changes would require planning feasibility to be verified. Elstree and Borehamwood station provides Thameslink services towards central London. The A41, A5, M1 and M25 are accessible by road, and local amenities, schools and Aldenham Country Park are nearby. The property is freehold and falls within Council Tax Band H.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £1.75m, this substantial 4,135 sq ft home is priced around 18% below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. Its generous plot, gated driveway, large established garden and detached pool building add to the appeal, while the comparatively modern, serviceable kitchen means the project can focus on updating the older decorative finishes across several interior spaces.

The visible work looks mainly cosmetic, with an indicative renovation range of £8,000–£18,000. The pool water appears green and its operating condition needs checking; the listing also describes scope for remodelling or redevelopment, but any planning feasibility remains unestablished. Overall, the combination of scale, grounds and below-average price per square foot makes this a good opportunity for a buyer to shape a distinctive family home.

Key opportunities

  • Update the older wallpaper, panelling and decorative finishes across the reception spaces and bedrooms to create a more contemporary interior.
  • Make the most of the unusually large, established garden, gated driveway and detached pool building.
  • Acquire substantial floor area at a asking price well below the local average per square foot.
