Substantial and attractive family home in a tucked-away location.
Description
Vale House is a most desirable and spacious family home that has immense style and character and offers great accommodation over three floors.
The house is situated in a secluded location tucked away up a long private drive and, in the summer months, has beautiful wisteria to the front.
The house opens into a welcoming hallway and there are stairs to the first floor and there is also a tiled cloakroom. A light and bright triple aspect sitting room features an attractive fireplace with gas fire and French doors open onto the rear garden.
At the centre of the house is the large kitchen/breakfast/family room which is fitted with a range of built-in painted wooden units with granite and wood work tops, two bespoke larder cupboards, butler sink and a Rangemaster cooker. Two fitted dressers in the breakfast area sit either side of the doorway to the snug. Next to the family room is the dining room with an excellent range of bespoke built-in cupboards. This in turn leads to the study with French doors to a sunny afternoon terrace. There is a large separate utility room with good cupboard space and a separate boiler room.
Upstairs there is a triple aspect principal bedroom, with view over the valley, has an original cast iron fireplace and fitted wardrobes. The generous en suite bathroom has underfloor heating.
The guest bedroom also has views across the valley and an excellent en suite bath/shower room. There are two further bedrooms on this floor sharing the fully tiled en suite wet room and a separate cloakroom.
On the second floor the stairs open into the games room/den with one double and single bedroom on either side – a great floor for older children.
Outside
Vale House stands on a lovely plot with fine views to the front. There is a long driveway to the triple garage with water and electricity. This is ideal for conversion into a two bedroom self-contained annexe (subject to the usual consents). A gravelled/tarmac area proving parking for several cars. In front of the garage is a specimen Kentucky coffee tree. There is a well stocked mature border behind the garaging and a gate to the rear garden. This has been well laid out with a fine terrace, ideal for entertaining with feature borders and a pond leading to the lawn with shrub/hedge boundaries providing a real feel of privacy. To the side of the lawn is a fabulous summerhouse with light and power and a wild area of garden to the rear.
Location
Vale House is approached over a long driveway in a private road in the highly sought after location of Loudwater. Rickmansworth station is approximately 1.5 miles away and provides both the Metropolitan Line to London Baker Street and
the City and the Chiltern Turbo to Marylebone. Rickmansworth town centre has an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and the food halls of Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Tesco too. There is an excellent selection of schools within the area, both state and private including Joan of Arc, St Clement Danes and the Royal Masonic School for Girls. Leisure pursuits are well catered for with the renowned Moor Park Golf Club as well as the public course at Rickmansworth. Chorleywood Common also has a 9 hole golf course and picturesque walks and bridle paths and of course there is the popular Rickmansworth Aquadrome with sailing, play areas and walks. Access to the M25 is at junction 18 with connections to the wider motorway network.
