Box Lane, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP3

A fabulous five double bedroom contemporary style family home, with approaching 4,500 square feet of living accommodation that’s been completed to a superb specification, whilst occupying an idyllic sylvan setting, that’s surrounded by Box Moor Trust land and conveniently placed for the station at Boxmoor.

The detail of the interior welcomes you as you enter the light-filled hallway. The beautiful floating staircase and shadow gap contributes to the modern and minimalist aesthetic, with Eco Porcelainic microcement flooring and Garofoli full height doors seamlessly taking you through the house.

Three stylish en-suite bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, with the two principal bedrooms benefitting from direct access to a central courtyard. Italian-built Pianca floor-to-ceiling wardrobes complement the rooms and match the individually designed bathrooms, complete with Lusso Stone products.

The ground floor extends to a very generous sized utility room equipped with Siemens appliances, a large plant room and a separate storeroom, as well as a large cloakroom alongside the secondary staircase.

The main floating staircase takes you up to a sensational entertaining area, with living, dining and kitchen spaces set beneath a butterfly roof and full height glass at either end, with sliding doors leading out to a central upper terrace. The bespoke kitchen by Veneta Cucine is beautifully designed with Italian stone worktops and integrated Miele appliances, and a seating area around the centrally located island.

The secondary staircase at the rear of the house leads the way up to two further en-suite bedrooms, similarly styled to those on the ground floor. A fabulous secondary reception room with mirrored boutique bar allows for flexible multi-generational living, with full height sliding doors leading out onto the central upper terrace – perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The house is approached via an electric gate, with a large driveway and detached garage beyond. Planting by the Secret Landscape Company is in keeping with the minimalist design of the house and incorporates irrigated beds and a lawned area towards the rear of the plot with views across the landscape. Eco Composite Millboard decking is laid on the upper terrace and courtyard, incorporating outdoor taps and power sockets, with external lighting installed to subtly illuminate the exterior, designed by Tessa Ashley-Miller.

Located less than a mile from Hemel Hempstead train station with direct access to London Euston in approximately 30 minutes. The A41 dual carriageway is nearby providing access to the M25 and M1.

There are a variety of schooling options, both state and independent, with the property falling within catchment area for Hemel Hempstead School. Other schooling is available nearby at primary and senior levels, including Westbrook Hay and Berkhamsted School.
