Description

The Court is a substantial Grade II listed country house set on the edge of Chorleywood Common on a mature and secluded plot of about 3.5 acres. The property also features a separate detached arched lodge building at the entrance to its large front courtyard that is currently arranged as two separate
homes.

The Court is one of the most iconic properties in the area and was commissioned by the renowned actor Sir George Alexander and completed in 1912. The property has been within the same family ownership since 1967 and is now offered to the market with no onward chain.

The property is in need of considerable refurbishment throughout and this is reflected in the guide price.

Ground floor with reception hall and secondary entrance hall with two separate staircases to the first floor, five reception rooms, cloakroom, kitchen with flower room and laundry room. Cellar.

First floor with a large principal bedroom suite with large dressing room and en suite bathroom, enjoying views overlooking the garden, seven further bedrooms, dressing room/study and two bathrooms.

Staircase to a tall full width loft space.

Gardens and grounds
The Lodge is currently split into two, each flat with its own private entrance and comprises:

West Lodge - Living room, kitchen on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. It also has its own private garden.

East Lodge – Double garage on the ground floor with storage area. Sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

The mature and secluded gardens extend to about 3.5 acres and backs, south westwards, onto Chorleywood Common. There is a large detached summer house/folly, a tiled swimming pool (in need of restoring) and various storage sheds.

There is ample parking both to the front courtyard and a separate area accessed by the secondary driveway entrance, to the left of The Lodge.
