The Ridgeway, EN6

Meraki are pleased to offer this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home occupies one of the finest positions on The Ridgeway, offering a rare combination of spacious family living, spectacular countryside views, and impressive energy credentials that set it apart from anything else on the market.

On the ground floor, the generously proportioned accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall with a ground-floor WC through to two large reception rooms, perfect for family life and entertaining alike. A sizeable kitchen/family room forms the natural heart of the home, opening directly onto the south-facing rear garden and terrace - making the most of the spectacular views and abundant natural light. A separate study, garage and utility room complete the ground-floor arrangement.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, including a large en suite to the principle bedroom, providing both comfort and practicality for a growing family. The second floor offers additional boarded and insulated loft space, ideal for storage or future conversion (planning in place).

The rear garden is a real highlight - a private and secluded south-facing plot measuring approximately 215ft x 50ft, mainly laid to lawn with a large paved entertaining terrace that directly adjoins open countryside. To the front, a private gated driveway with integral garage provides ample parking in a secure setting.

Energy independence - the property has recently been fitted with a substantial solar PV and battery storage system comprising 30 panels and four 10kW batteries. This state-of-the-art system effectively eliminates electricity bills across the year, with surplus energy sold back to the grid to generate an ongoing net income. For a family home of this size and calibre, this is a genuinely outstanding asset.

For those wishing to further enhance the property, planning permission has already been granted to raise the ridge height, extend the first-floor footprint by 40%, and grow the total footprint to approximately 4,500 sq ft - offering enormous potential to create an even more impressive family home without the uncertainty of a planning application.

Rarely does a property of this quality come to market on one of the area's most prestigious roads. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Location
The property is ideally placed for families, with Cuffley train station just five minutes away, offering a comfortable 40-minute commute into central London. A good selection of local shops, restaurants and conveniences are close by, whilst the M25 is within ten minutes for excellent onward road connections.

Families will appreciate proximity to several highly regarded schools, including Queenswood Girls' School and Lochinver House boys' school. Despite its excellent connectivity, the property enjoys a wonderfully rural feel - Northaw Great Wood is virtually on the doorstep, and local leisure facilities including tennis, golf and horse riding are all within easy reach.
