Description

This charming 1920s detached home is set on a substantial 0.7-acre plot in a sought-after area south of Rickmansworth, providing an excellent opportunity for renovation or redevelopment. With expansive views over Batchworth Park Golf Course, the property boasts five well-sized bedrooms and generous living space across two levels. The entrance porch welcomes you into a spacious hallway featuring parquet flooring that leads to elegant reception rooms. The front-facing drawing room, with its inviting fireplace, and the dining room with a bespoke marble fireplace create perfect settings for family gatherings. Direct access from the hall to the garden enhances the property's appeal. Accommodations include a snug/TV room overlooking the garden, which can double as guest quarters due to its adjoining shower room. The kitchen/breakfast area is expansive, featuring integrated appliances and direct access to an outdoor terrace—ideal for entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find a principal bedroom suite with en suite facilities and four additional doubles serviced by a stylish family bathroom. A light-filled study is also part of this level. Externally, the gated carriage driveway offers ample parking space while mature hedging ensures privacy. The rear garden features terraces and flower beds leading to a large lawn and a games room that could serve as a studio or teen retreat, complete with kitchenette and shower room. Notably, there’s potential to replace the current structure with a larger new build (subject to planning), making this property particularly appealing for investors seeking to capitalize on its location. Additionally, its proximity to various golf courses and recreational amenities enhances its desirability as both a family home and investment property.
