Chestnut Avenue, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, WD3

An attractive detached family home on a level plot about 0.44 of an acre with stunning gardens and scope to extend or redevelop, subject to planning permission.

Description

Netherwood is an attractive and well-appointed detached family residence, exhibiting charming character elevations and well-balanced proportions throughout.

The house has been carefully maintained and offers thoughtfully arranged accommodation over two floors. In addition, the property presents significant scope to extend or comprehensively remodel, or alternatively to redevelop the site entirely with the construction of a new dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The welcoming reception hall provides access to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a particularly fine triple-aspect space, centred around a feature fireplace and enjoying double doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden beyond. The dining room offers an ideal setting for formal entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with integrated appliances and ample space for informal dining. A separate utility room with external side access, together with a cloakroom, completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, a bright and airy landing leads to a generous loft space, offering clear potential for conversion subject to planning permission. The spacious principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes. There is a guest bedroom with en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside
Netherwood is approached via a private driveway providing ample off-street parking and access to a single garage. The house is set back from Chestnut Avenue behind a well-established front garden, bordered by mature shrubbery and planting, creating an attractive outlook and a natural sense of privacy from the road.

A particular highlight is the impressive rear garden, which is level and predominantly flat - a rare and highly sought-after feature, ideally suited to family occupation and entertaining alike.

Immediately adjoining the house is a generous terrace, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and summer entertaining. Beyond lies an expansive lawn, framed by mature trees, established hedging and deep, well-stocked borders, affording a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
To the rear of the plot is a distinct secondary garden area, accessed via a gated opening. This versatile space lends itself to a variety of uses, including a productive kitchen garden, children’s play area, orchard or peaceful retreat separate from the principal lawn.

The garden further benefits from a summerhouse and a separate workshop positioned to one side of the house. The level gardens have mature planting and clearly defined areas of use, resulting in a private and beautifully established setting of considerable appeal.
