Description
WILLOW – AN INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER HOME IN REDBOURN | NO UPPER CHAIN
A truly individual detached residence, Willow is a character-filled 1990s self-build occupying a generous wraparound plot in the highly sought-after village of Redbourn. Offering approximately 1,210 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, this distinctive home combines the charm of exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, a gated driveway with garage and mature gardens with the convenience of modern family living.
Approached through wrought-iron gates, the property immediately makes an impression with its attractive architecture, extensive driveway and established surroundings. Unlike many modern homes, Willow possesses a genuine sense of individuality, with exposed beams, unusual rooflines and character features creating an atmosphere more reminiscent of a much older property.
The ground floor provides approximately 700 sq ft and is centred around an impressive dual-aspect lounge, measuring approximately 17'7" x 13'7", with a feature fireplace and doors opening directly onto the garden. Filled with natural light, this is a superb room for both relaxing and entertaining.
A separate 13'2" x 10'4" dining room provides a more formal entertaining space, while the recently renovated kitchen combines contemporary fittings with the home's traditional character. Integrated appliances include an oven, induction hob and dishwasher, complemented by useful storage and exposed timber detailing. A door provides convenient access directly into the garden. A ground-floor shower room completes this level.
The first floor continues the home's distinctive character, with three generous bedrooms, attractive pitched ceilings and exposed beams. The second bedroom benefits from its own three-piece en-suite, with a separate family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
Particularly impressive is Bedroom One, approximately 17'3" x 9'11", an exceptionally spacious room and a high vaulted ceiling enjoying excellent natural light from both front and rear windows. Willow was originally designed as a four-bedroom property, with this room deliberately retained as one substantial bedroom. Its proportions therefore offer exciting potential to reinstate a fourth bedroom, subject to any necessary works and consents.
Outside is where Willow becomes especially appealing. The property sits within a generous wraparound plot, creating a wonderfully established and private setting. Mature gardens incorporate lawns, paved patio area which can be access front the main receptions French door, established planting and an abundance of mature trees, including impressive apple and willow trees, providing colour, character and a delightful backdrop throughout the seasons.
The extensive driveway provides parking for several vehicles and is complemented by a substantial brick-built garage and additional garden store, providing excellent storage, workshop or hobby space.
Positioned in the desirable village of Redbourn, Willow combines a semi-rural atmosphere with excellent connectivity. Harpenden railway station is approximately under 3 miles away, providing direct services into London St Pancras, while the M1 and M25 are readily accessible.
Rarely does a home offering this combination of individuality, character, generous gardens and versatility become available. With approximately 1,210 sq ft of accommodation, potential for four bedrooms and NO UPPER CHAIN, Willow represents a unique opportunity to acquire a home quite unlike the conventional modern detached property. Early viewing is highly recommended.
