School Lane, Bushey, WD23

Properties of this standard rarely come to the rental market. Set back from School Lane behind a generous pebble driveway with parking for three to four vehicles, The Bungalow has been finished with a level of care and attention to detail that is immediately apparent. From the moment the front door opens into a vaulted entrance hall, complete with skylight and pendant light, it is clear that no corner has been cut.

To the left of the entrance hall, a bay-fronted reception room with feature fireplace (13'8" x 17'8") provides a considered counterpoint to the scale of the rear of the house. A fourth bedroom sits beyond, equally well-proportioned and easily repurposed as a second reception, study, or home office, subject to the occupier's requirements. A utility room with a downstairs shower room connects, with convenient access to the outside. At the back, the house opens into something quite different: a 48' open-plan living and kitchen space that is the centrepiece of the entire property. A large rectangular island functions as breakfast bar and social anchor. The kitchen runs to a full suite of cabinetry finished in a concrete-effect palette, housing an equally comprehensive range of integrated appliances. Bi-folding doors across the rear elevation and an additional set of patio doors flood the space with natural light throughout the day, opening directly onto the north-easterly facing garden.

The staircase from the hall ascends to a first floor that matches the ground in both scale and finish. A large double bedroom to the front features built-in cabinetry and a street aspect. Bedroom three sits behind it, with double doors giving onto a private balcony. The family bathroom is finished in a deep, dark statement tile with a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower enclosure. The principal suite occupies the remaining floor, with built-in cabinetry, its own patio doors to a second balcony, a walk-in wardrobe, and a dedicated en suite shower room.

From the bi-folding doors, the garden extends with generosity. A patio area sits directly off the house with steps rising to a well-kept lawn beyond. The plot is both deep and broad, lending itself equally to summer entertaining, al fresco dining, or simply space for children to use freely.
