About
A beautifully extended and refurbished five bedroom detached home, offering stylish contemporary living with original character features.
Description An exceptional detached family home, discreetly positioned on a private road in one of Kings Langley’s most desirable settings, Harcourt has been meticulously extended and refurbished by the current owners to create a remarkable family home that seamlessly blends period character with contemporary living.
Originally dating from the 1920s, the property has been thoughtfully transformed, with careful consideration given to preserving the charm and architectural integrity of the original building while introducing a sophisticated specification designed for modern family life.
The result is an elegant and versatile home offering beautifully balanced accommodation arranged over two floors.
At the heart of the house is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, a beautifully designed area that provides the perfect setting for both relaxed family living and entertaining.
The traditional-style kitchen has been finished to an exacting standard, featuring bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, a luxurious central island and seamless access to the garden through impressive six-metre-wide sliding doors, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and exterior spaces.
The ground floor offers a superb range of additional accommodation, including multiple reception rooms providing flexibility for formal entertaining, relaxation, study or home working.
