Garden Lodge is a generously-proportioned and well-presented detached family home with spacious reception rooms and a generous well-maintained garden with outstanding views over open countryside. It is conveniently located at the heart of a popular Hertfordshire village, near to local village and town centre amenities, the train station and motorway network.
The property
Garden Lodge is an stylish, detached family home, sensitively extended by the current owners to offer almost 2,600 sq. ft. of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space, the ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming dining hall with feature flagstone flooring to a spacious front aspect family room, a generous dual aspect drawing room with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, and a well-proportioned study. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room offers a range of contemporary high-gloss wall and base units including a large central island with breakfast bar, complementary worktops and splashbacks, modern integrated appliances including a wine chiller, and a useful neighbouring fitted utility room with en suite cloakroom and a door to the side. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a dual aspect double bedroom with useful sink, accessible from the study.
Stairs rise from the dining hall to the first floor, which features a wealth of wooden flooring and provides a principal bedroom with feature bay window and contemporary fully-tiled en suite shower room. The property’s three remaining double bedrooms, two with built-in storage, and it has a modern family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, complete the facilities.
Outside
Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through double five-bar gates over a gravelled driveway providing private parking, flanked by a lawned and planted front garden. The generous well-maintained garden is laid mainly to lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds. It features mature topiary, an area of light woodland, numerous seating areas, a large pond, garden room, shed and generous paved terrace with water feature, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The whole garden enjoys far-reaching views over surrounding Hertfordshire countryside.
