House For Sale £1,700,000
A detached character bungalow with landscaped gardens.
Description
Situated in a semi-rural setting on the northern fringes of Redbourn is this detached, four double bedroom bungalow which has been extensively enlarged and improved in recent years to create a deceptively spacious and well-appointed home. The house sits within generous gardens to the front and rear and further benefits from ample off-road parking. Though the plentiful amenities of Redbourn are just over half a mile away, there is excellent open countryside on the doorstep.
Internally the property is well presented in a classical, country style with modern kitchen and bathrooms. The bungalow is of a more recent construction but has the characterful look of a much older property inside, with exposed beams and brick detailing complemented by more modern elements. The vendors have improved the home with cosmetic modernisation and extending the footprint by about 50%, and creating the tranquil brick pond in the rear garden. The house features many premium materials including marble tiling and kitchen work surfaces, oak and pine, and both porcelain and Amtico floors.
The accommodation extends to more than 2800 sq ft and is arrange on one level. An entrance hall has built in storage and provides access to the formal living room, the open plan kitchen/dining room and a home office. There is also access to the main bedroom with en suite bathroom to the rear of the house, and a bedroom with en suite shower room to the front. Accessible from the dining room is the large family room, utility room, cloakroom with w.c. And a further two double bedrooms with en suite facilities. There is a detached home office/studio with shower room/w.c. Providing further flexible accommodation, plus a detached summerhouse.
The property is set with attractively landscaped gardens which offer as much scope and versatility as the home itself. To the front there is a large gravel driveway with ample off-street parking for a number of cars. A very good size formal garden separates the property from the road and features a variety of trees and shrubs. The rear garden has an attractive paved patio inset with a large pond which leads to a good-size lawn and an additional fountain. An elevated timber terrace with a partial roof provides space for covered outdoor dining. To the rear there is a kitchen garden with vegetable plots and a timber shed.
