About
Period house with plans passed for substantial extension to create a four bedroom three bathroom home Description Little Oaks is an attractive detached property set on a mature 0.25 acre plot, positioned well back from the road behind a generous driveway and parking area, and enjoying open views over fields to the front.
The house is well presented throughout and features a dual aspect sitting room with a brick fireplace and log burner, a dining room with bay window, and a kitchen with integrated appliances.
A utility room provides side access and there is a guest cloakroom. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a family shower room. A side gate leads to the rear garden, mainly laid to lawn.
The property offers excellent storage, including a brick built shed, a side store housing the gas boiler, an additional integrated store and also a detached conservatory.
Planning permission has been granted for a well-designed two storey rear extension, new front porch, and internal alterations (Ref: 24/02565/fha).
The approved scheme extends the accommodation to 181.7 sq.m, adding two extra bedroom and two extra bathrooms on the first floor and a radical re-imagining of the ground floor adding a large open plan kitchen living area with extensive glazing.
The new planning offers buyers an excellent opportunity to enhance this characterful home in a peaceful semi rural location on the edge of Berkhamsted.
To the rear of the property the owners have a further portion of land of approximately three acres that could be available by separate negotiation. Further details on request.
