Old Chorleywood Road, Rickmansworth, WD3

This substantial detached house was built in 1920 and benefits from spacious rooms set on a generous plot in a great location within half a mile of Rickmansworth station and shops. It is a characterful property that offers great potential to create a modern family home. A beamed porch shelters the front door, which opens into the entrance hall. The sitting room is an attractive double aspect room with an electric fire set on a marble fireplace with mantelpiece above. A well-proportioned dining room has French doors to the conservatory, which in turn has doors to the rear terrace and garden beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room has extensive pine-fronted wall and base units with laminate surfaces. There is a composite two bowl sink, a gas hob, electric oven plus a separate grill, integral microwave, dishwasher and space for a tall fridge/freezer. A utility room has plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer plus a door to the side exterior. Also off the kitchen, there is a boiler room with a wall mounted gas boiler, hot water cylinder and door to the rear garden. The cloakroom has a basin and coat hanging area with a separate WC and shower cubicle. Carpeted oak stairs rise to the landing. The principal bedroom has double aspects to the front and rear and fitted wardrobes. A further double bedroom also has views to the rear garden and fitted units. There are two more double bedrooms with cupboards. The bathroom has an over bath power shower, a basin and an airing cupboard. The adjacent WC is separate and there is a hatch from the landing to access the large loft.

Outside

The property is set back from the road with a tarmac drive providing parking for several vehicles and access to the double garage, which has an electric roller door. A room within the garage is ideal for additional storage or potentially a small workshop. There is a gated side path to the rear, past a door to an exterior gardener's WC, where a deep, paved terrace spans the back of the house. The garden has a westerly aspect, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to the terraced lawn areas. Mature shrubs and trees give a high degree of seclusion and privacy. A timber panel fence marks the rear boundary, beyond which there is currently a planning application. For further details, contact the Rickmansworth office.
