Ridge Lane, WATFORD, WD17

This well-presented, detached five bedroom house was built in the 1930's but has been significantly extended and updated to a high standard in recent years. An arched porch shelters the front door which leads into the entrance hall, with a cloakroom with WC and basin to one side. The sitting room has a bay window to the front and a magnificent feature fireplace with a gas fire. A further sitting area has attractive glazed doors with bevelled glass to the dining end of the kitchen. The high specification kitchen is entered via the utility area, which is in the same style as the kitchen, having light maple wood fronts and contrasting granite work tops. The large island unit incorporates additional storage and a breakfast bar. A wide doorway leads from the dining end of the kitchen into the garden room, which is ideal for family living. There are folding doors out to the garden and a door to one side leads into a versatile room with under floor heating, currently used as a study but with potential to be repurposed as downstairs accommodation with the addition of a shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a bay window to the front and an en suite wet room with a shower screen, a basin in a vanity unit and a WC plus a useful built-in cupboard. There are two double bedrooms with views over the rear garden and two single bedrooms, one currently used as a dressing room. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath, a basin and a WC. There is a large loft accessed from the landing. The house has gas central heating and double glazing.

Outside

At the front of the house, the mainly paved front garden has planted flower beds and off street parking for several cars. There is access to the rear on both sides of the house. A large terrace spans the back of the house with steps and a ramp to the lawn. There are mature shrubs and timber panel fencing to the boundaries. A large cedar wood summer house, with a separate garden shed section, is to one side of the terrace. There is a workshop area at the back of the garage, accessed from the terrace, which might possibly be incorporated to enlarge the current accommodation.
