Upstairs to the first floor are three of the five bedrooms, all doubles, one is currently used as a dressing room and has an ensuite shower room, while the principal bedroom is also ensuite to a spacious bathroom, featuring a separate shower as well as a free-standing bath.
Guest Annexe
Offering flexibility for use in any number of ways is a ground floor guest suite with a bedroom, sitting area and ensuite bath & shower room.
Like the other ground floor suite, it has an independent entrance, this time from the side of the house, as well as French doors onto the rear garden.
It can be accessed internally via a courtesy door from the main house and would therefore lend itself well for use as a home office, and by virtue of its independent access and degree of separation, for those receiving clients at home, or as a den for teenagers, a home gym, games room or as accommodation for those requiring easy access single level living.
Outside
Outside, a characterful, red and charcoal brick-built façade hints at a varied history, once thought to have been a terrace of four workers' cottages, and then a public house, it now presents as an exciting, unique single dwelling.
Extending across a wide plot the house itself, which is detached, features two large single storey bays and an off-set focal storm porch over a wide front entrance. Paved areas to either side of the storm porch provide space for feature planting. There is a secondary entrance to one side of the frontage, an adjacent gate provides access to a walled courtyard garden, while on the other side a wide drive provides off street parking for two cars, while also providing gated access to the rear of the property and an area providing concealed bin storage.
To the rear of the house is a wide southwest facing garden, with views to the Abbey in the middle distance. It provides secluded outside space that has been laid mainly to artificial lawn with a generous paved terrace and areas of planting. It makes the ideal space for al-fresco dining and entertaining. There are wide bi-fold doors from the principal living space and further French doors lead from the guest suite. A garden store completes the picture to the rear.
To the front of the house is a separate walled courtyard garden, also accessed via bi-fold doors from the principal living space, as well as French doors from the bedroom/reception suite at the front of the house. Again, low maintenance in design, it is laid mainly to paving with a pergola providing shelter and presents another outside space ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. A gate to one side provides pedestrian access to Verulam Road at the front.
