About
This is an impressive detached family home offering almost 3,000 sq ft of well-proportioned, versatile accommodation, arranged over two light-filled floors and presented in a traditional style throughout.
The reception hall provides a splendid welcome to the home and leads to the two main living and entertaining areas.
These include the generous drawing room, which has tiled flooring and welcomes plenty of natural light through its south and east-facing aspects, with French doors opening onto the gardens.
The secondary reception room provides a flowing, open-plan layout with space for a relaxed sitting area with brick-built fireplace and exposed beams overhead and a dining area with a wood panelled ceiling.
Adjoining the dining area, the kitchen has elegant, shaker-style units in white, as well as integrated appliances and space for a breakfast table., plus an open utility area for further appliances and storage.
Upstairs there are five comfortable bedrooms, one of which is ideal for use as a study.
There is a spacious principal bedroom with built-in storage and an en suite bathroom, while two of the smaller doubles benefit from their own washbasins.
The family bathroom is found on the first floor with its over-bath shower, while an additional shower room is located on the ground level.
The house sits on a large corner plot and benefits from a sunny south-facing garden at the front, with lawns wrapping around the front and both sides of the property, bordered by mature trees and established hedgerows, as well as colourful beds with various flowering perennials.
A gated entrance opens to the driveway at the side of the house, which provides plenty of parking and leads to the integrated garage at the rear.
The property is set in a popular and convenient location within very easy reach of the mainline station with its fast through services via St Pancras International to the City (19 minutes) Gatwick and beyond.
Road users enjoy easy access to the M1, M25 and the A1(M) and to the airports at Heathrow, Luton and Stansted.
The City Centre with its wealth of amenities including shopping, leisure activities and excellent state and public schools is close at hand, as are the green spaces at Clarence Park, The Wick, Bernards Heath and Verulamium Park.
