Uxbridge Road, Mill End, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire

Tucked away behind Uxbridge Road, this is a surprisingly substantial four-bedroom home, offering close to 2,800 sq ft of internal accommodation, with a layout that feels quite unlike anything you might expect from the street.

Once inside, the scale of the house quickly becomes apparent. At its heart is an impressive 34ft living and dining room, giving you a huge amount of space to arrange around everyday life, whether that’s a large dining table, relaxed seating or entertaining friends and family.

Beyond this sits the kitchen, another particularly generous room at approximately 19ft x 18ft. Finished with sleek cabinetry, stone worktops and a large central island, there’s plenty of room to cook, eat and spend time together. Doors open from here onto a private courtyard, creating a sheltered outside space that feels nicely connected to the kitchen.

There are also two separate reception rooms positioned towards the front of the property, providing quieter spaces away from the main living areas. There’s plenty of flexibility here too, whether used as home offices, a TV room or potentially as part of an annexe arrangement. A ground-floor WC and separate utility room complete this level.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being particularly impressive at approximately 19ft in length, benefiting from extensive fitted wardrobes and a full en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two also has its own en-suite shower room, while a generous family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Both the principal en-suite and family bathroom feature separate baths and showers.

There’s more space still above. A substantial loft room measuring approximately 16'5" x 14'3", together with an additional loft space extending to around 45ft in length, provides a considerable amount of useful space and storage.

One of the less obvious highlights of the house is its relationship with the surrounding landscape. Despite the convenience of Uxbridge Road, the rear of the property looks out towards the River Colne and the greenery beyond, giving parts of the house a much more open and peaceful outlook than you might expect from its position.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard runs alongside the house and provides a private spot for a morning coffee or evening drink, while the gated driveway provides off-street parking for two to three cars.

The location is another real strength. Rickmansworth's everyday amenities are close at hand, while Rickmansworth Aquadrome and the River Colne are within easy reach, providing acres of open space, lakeside walks and footpaths nearby. Rickmansworth town centre is also easily accessible, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, together with Metropolitan and Chiltern line connections into London.

With approximately 2,777 sq ft of internal accommodation and 3,070 sq ft in total, it’s the combination of space, flexibility and the unexpected outlook towards the River Colne that really sets this one apart.
