Description

An enticing opportunity to purchase a spacious six-bedroom detached family residence located in the prestigious Cassiobury Estate. This property, encompassing over 3,770 sq ft (350 sq m), is set on a generous plot in a highly sought-after residential area. Although it requires extensive modernization, the home features ample room sizes and an adaptable layout ideal for contemporary living. The expansive grounds provide excellent potential for landscaping or even possible extensions, making it perfect for anyone looking to customize their dream home within this exclusive locale. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading into several well-proportioned reception areas, including a large drawing room and a family lounge with attractive bay windows that enhance the natural light and high ceilings throughout. A rear kitchen connects to a utility space and boot room, also providing access to the detached double garage. For convenience, there is a cloakroom/WC on this level as well as access to a cellar that offers useful storage or potential conversion opportunities (subject to necessary permissions). On the first floor, you'll find five generously-sized bedrooms along with an additional study area on the landing and a family bathroom. The upper level includes two further bedrooms and another bathroom, making this space ideal for guests or teenagers seeking privacy. Located on a peaceful tree-lined street just moments from Cassiobury Park, this property combines serene living with easy access to Watford's central amenities. Commuters can benefit from nearby transport links such as Watford Underground (Metropolitan Line) and Watford Junction, ensuring swift connections into London and beyond. Additionally, families will appreciate proximity to reputable local schools like Watford Grammar Schools and Nascot Wood Junior School. Offered without any upper chain, this is an exceptional chance to acquire a significant residence in prime Cassiobury that can be transformed into a home that reflects your personal style and needs.
