Abbots Road, Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire, WD5

A handsome six bedroom Victorian family home occupying a level plot of about two thirds of an acre in need of modernisation and with tremendous potential to extend STPP

Description

Believed to date back to 1885, 132 Abbots Road has a wealth of original features and offers spacious, bright and light accommodation with further scope for extensions, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property is in need of refurbishment throughout but exudes character and elegance, with a plethora of original period features including fireplaces, high ceilings and decorative stained glass windows. Many of the windows and doors are original.

On entering the property, an attractive entrance porch leads into a long and spacious reception hall leading to all the principal reception rooms with a staircase rising to the first floor and a separate staircase leading down into a cellar. There is a separate rear lobby with access to the rear garden and cloakroom. An elegant drawing room with fireplace is situated to the front with full length bay windows. This room interconnects through double doors into the dining room to the rear with bay windows to the side and enjoying views over the rear garden. There is a separate family room to the front featuring full length bay windows to the front. This is an ideal place to sit and relax and this room in turn provides access to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor units. Off this room is a store room with separate pantry and utility room. This area lends itself to further living space.

On the first floor are six bedrooms. Some of the bedrooms provide built-in cupboards. There is also a large shower room. Please note, the house originally comprised five bedrooms after which two were split into two rooms each. However, one or both of these could easily be converted back to double bedrooms.

Outside
The property is set in grounds of about two thirds of an acre in all and is approached via a carriage driveway which provides parking for a number of vehicles extending to one side of the property. There is an area of lawn and mature boundaries to all sides and gates access on both sides of the property to the rear garden.

The expansive level rear gardens are a fine feature of this property and have countryside views over farmland and the Gade Valley. They are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with well stocked and mature beds, trees and boundaries offering a high degree of seclusion.
