Description

This five-bedroom detached home is situated within the serene confines of the Longdean Park gated community, spanning just under 3,000 sq ft of versatile living space on a generous half-acre plot. The property benefits from its proximity to Longdean Nature Reserve, offering both privacy and picturesque views. Inside, the layout is designed for flexibility and spaciousness. The five well-sized bedrooms include three bathrooms—two of which are en-suite. The ground floor features up to four reception areas, with a notable 24-foot living room boasting a vaulted ceiling. A dedicated study and a modern kitchen/diner equipped with both electric and gas cooker connections provide ample opportunity for customization. Oak flooring flows throughout the main level, enhancing the home's cohesive aesthetic and drawing in natural light from the surrounding landscape. The outdoor space is thoughtfully landscaped for low maintenance while still providing a tranquil environment for relaxation or entertainment. Features include an array of evergreen shrubs, flowering plants, and mature trees that create an inviting backdrop, along with a patio area ideal for gatherings. Additional landscaped elements such as an oriental garden with a swing arbor, an ornamental pond with flowing water, and even a six-hole artificial putting green add unique character to the grounds. Practical components like a greenhouse and garden shed contribute to the functionality of this outdoor space. A significant asset of this property is the expansive roof terrace that spans the full width of the first floor, providing sweeping views over both the gardens and nature reserve—an exceptional outdoor feature not commonly found in similar homes. The double garage includes a remote-operated door while the spacious driveway accommodates seven or more vehicles. There is considerable potential within this residence; part of the ground floor could be transformed into a self-contained annexe suitable for multi-generational living or guest accommodations, pending planning approval for further extensions if desired. Longdean Park itself is a private development featuring 110 homes set across 55 acres, maintained by an active residents' association that upholds high community standards and fosters an inclusive environment. Nearby amenities are plentiful with easy access to well-regarded schools and train stations connecting to London Euston via Apsley and Hemel Hempstead stations, making it convenient for commuting. Overall, this property represents significant renovation potential in a desirable location while offering immediate comfort and lifestyle benefits without forward chain complications.
