Westland Drive, Brookmans Park

This substantial four bedroom semi detached property with a huge garden and planning permission for a large rear extension is located in popular Brookmans Park village just moments from the shops, schools and station. With good local amenities and excellent transport links to London, this property is in a prime Hertfordshire location.

This lovely family home sits on a large plot with off-street parking for three cars and gated side access to a more than 140 ft long rear garden. The property is a spacious home, with two double bedrooms on the ground floor and two on the first floor. There are also two bathrooms, one on each floor.

Entering the property you’re immediately struck by the sense of lateral space and light, and the tasteful combination of complementary materials and finishes. The hallway is a particularly welcoming space, with white painted panelling, pale walls, a patterned tiled floor, and natural wood doors.

The main living room is a large open plan room that extends to over 20 ft and comprises a cosy lounge area with lots of space for a TV and sofas, and a garden room that’s a perfect dining/entertaining area. A large square bay window provides extensive garden views from all parts of the room, and a door opens onto the paved garden terrace. The adjacent kitchen is well-equipped with fitted floor and wall cabinets and has space for freestanding appliances and a small dining table. A large window above the sink gives garden views and there’s a side door to the garden which also serves as a back door to the house, accessed via the gated side entrance.

The two double bedrooms on the ground floor have a sunny southwest-facing aspect, with plentiful natural light from windows fitted with bespoke plantation shutters. The main bedroom can easily accommodate a large double bed and bedroom furniture and has an attractive semi-circular bay window. Both bedrooms are carpeted with a subtle shade that complements the patterned tiled hallway. This tiling runs into the bathroom, which has a traditional suite comprising a freestanding bath, wall-hung washbasin and a WC, and an obscured opening window that provides ample natural light and ventilation. White metro tiles complete the look.

The luxurious carpet continues up the stairs to the two further double bedrooms on the first floor. These lovely light rooms have windows on two walls and garden views. The larger upstairs bedroom has a wide dormer window (ideal for a desk or dressing table) and an en suite shower room, whilst the smaller fourth bedroom, which has handy built-in eaves storage, is currently used as a workspace.

The property sits on a large plot and has a huge rear garden with an open aspect. This has extensive areas of paved terrace and lawn, with raised beds and mature planting. There is considerable scope to extend the property and it has planning permission for a single storey rear extension that would increase the ground floor area by about a third and the total area of the property from c.1,200 sq ft to almost 1,500 sq ft.
