Common Lane, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, WD4

A beautifully extended and refurbished five bedroom detached home, offering stylish contemporary living with original character features.

Description

An exceptional detached family home, discreetly positioned on a private road in one of Kings Langley’s most desirable settings, Harcourt has been meticulously extended and refurbished by the current owners to create a remarkable family home that seamlessly blends period character with contemporary living.

Originally dating from the 1920s, the property has been thoughtfully transformed, with careful consideration given to preserving the charm and architectural integrity of the original building while introducing a sophisticated specification designed for modern family life. The result is an elegant and versatile home offering beautifully balanced accommodation arranged over two floors.

At the heart of the house is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, a beautifully designed area that provides the perfect setting for both relaxed family living and entertaining. The traditional-style kitchen has been finished to an exacting standard, featuring bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, a luxurious central island and seamless access to the garden through impressive six-metre-wide sliding doors, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The ground floor offers a superb range of additional accommodation, including multiple reception rooms providing flexibility for formal entertaining, relaxation, study or home working. A well-appointed utility room, downstairs shower room and further versatile room provide excellent flexibility, including the option of guest accommodation or a bedroom for visiting family members.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite offers a private retreat, complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms are generously proportioned and served by a stylish family bathroom, featuring a large walk-in shower and freestanding bath.

Outside
The outside space is equally impressive. The south-facing rear garden extends to about 200ft and has been expertly landscaped to create a series of distinct areas designed for year-round enjoyment. Immediately adjoining the house is an impressive 1,700 sq ft patio area with a fully fitted and plumbed outdoor kitchen, providing an entertaining space. Beyond this lies a beautifully maintained lawn, productive fruit cages and mature planting, culminating in a dedicated children’s play area.

To the front of the property, a driveway provides parking for five to six vehicles, while the secluded setting offers a rare sense of privacy despite being only a short walk from Kings Langley High Street, highly regarded schools and the village Common.

Further enhancing the appeal of Harcourt is the benefit of planning permission and infrastructure already in place for a garden room with kitchen and bathroom, providing exciting potential for a home office, guest suite or leisure accommodation, subject to completion of the approved works.

Combining a prime village location, exceptional refurbishment, impressive entertaining spaces and a beautifully landscaped garden, Harcourt represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding family home in a sought-after and convenient location.
