About
An outstanding four bedroom detached home on Appleby Drive within the historic Durrants House development.
Located on Appleby Drive within the highly regarded Durrants House development in Croxley Green, this impressive four bedroom detached family home offers spacious and well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, with a large private garden, garage and a high-quality finish throughout.
The development forms part of the historic Durrants estate, where Durrants House, a Grade II listed country manor house, was restored and converted into apartments, with surrounding homes developed as part of the wider scheme.
Appleby Drive was one of the new roads introduced within the development and the owners of this home have been here since the development was built in 2011.
The property is entered via a welcoming hallway, with a study and downstairs W/C positioned to the front of the home.
The current owners extended the house in 2021 to create an expansive open-plan kitchen/diner and reception space with tri-folding doors which open directly onto the rear garden.
The kitchen is modern and minimalist with extensive integrated storage in the central island, a modern range cooker and 'american-style' fridge/freezer.
A separate living room sits to the front of the home and features a bay window, providing a more defined reception space.
The ground floor is further complemented by a garage with access from the garden. Upstairs, four excellent double bedrooms are arranged off the landing.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a three-piece en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom also enjoys its own en-suite.
Bedrooms three and four are served by a further family bathroom, providing a practical layout for family living.
Externally, the property enjoys a generous private rear garden with a patio area, mature planting and a useful shed positioned to the rear.
The garden offers an excellent setting for outdoor dining and relaxing during the warmer months, while the garage adds further storage or parking flexibility.
Appleby Drive is well positioned for Croxley Green’s local amenities, with shops, cafés and everyday conveniences available nearby, while Rickmansworth and Watford offer a broader range of retail, dining and leisure facilities.
The area is well served for schooling, with local options including Yorke Mead Primary School, Malvern Way Infant and Nursery School, Little Green Junior School and Croxley Danes School.
Excellent transport links are available via Croxley Underground Station, providing Metropolitan Line services towards London, with Rickmansworth Station also nearby offering both Metropolitan Line and Chiltern Railways connections.
Local road links provide convenient access towards Watford, Rickmansworth and the M25.
