** Please quote SR0671 **

The Property:

An attractive and substantial five-bedroom detached family home is situated on one of Rickmansworth's premier roads. The property boasts in excess of 3500 sq ft of flexible and tastefully decorated accommodation, and despite its size, it feels exceptionally homely. Off the spacious and welcoming entrance hall, there is a palatial living/dining room with doors leading out to the garden, a bespoke fitted home office, cloakroom, and a fantastic kitchen/breakfast room. Another generous reception room and a highly practical utility room complete the ground floor. To the first floor, off the cleverly designed galleried landing, are five double bedrooms, three of which have ensuite facilities, and there is a dressing room off the master bedroom. A modern family bathroom services the other two bedrooms. Externally, there is a huge carriage driveway providing off-street parking for numerous vehicles, a garage, and immaculate mature front and rear gardens. The superb landscaping in the south facing rear garden creates the perfect space for al-fresco dining and entertaining guests. One of the highlights for me is the fabulous purpose-built garden room -a great area to relax or use as a games room/den. The property is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain, and an internal viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate all this excellent home has to offer.
