Rasehill Close, Rickmansworth, WD3

Tucked away behind secure private gates at the end of a tree-lined drive, Great Poplars is one of Rickmansworth’s most impressive residences. With over 12,000 sq ft of accommodation and set in 4.24 acres, this home is designed for both luxurious everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale.

Entrance & Ground Floor

A sweeping driveway leads to the striking façade, framed by landscaped borders and mature trees. The double doors open into a breathtaking reception hall with a twin imperial staircase and marble flooring — a true centrepiece of the house.

From here, the ground floor flows into three main reception rooms: a formal dining room, a stylish family lounge with a feature fireplace, and a grand drawing room with doors onto the gardens. The heart of the home is the bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, with a striking illuminated island, integrated appliances, and direct access to the terrace for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Completing this level is a fitted office, utility room and cloakrooms.

Lower Ground Floor

The lower ground floor has been created as an entertainment and leisure destination. A cinema room, bar and wine cellar set the scene for entertaining, while the glass-fronted showroom garage provides a unique focal point. Alongside, a luxury spa suite features a heated pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub and a fully equipped gym, all with doors opening to the gardens.

First Floor

The first floor is arranged around a galleried landing. The principal suite is a private sanctuary, with two walk-in dressing rooms, dual bathrooms, and a balcony overlooking the gardens.

Second Floor

The top floor offers additional bedrooms, a sitting room and storage, making it ideal for family or guests.

Guest & Grounds

Within the landscaped 4.24-acre grounds are multiple terraces, a summerhouse/art studio, an outdoor kitchen pavilion, and space for recreation. A separate two-bedroom guest house with private patio provides excellent additional accommodation.
