6 bedroom detached house for sale

Set on one of Watford’s most desirable roads, this exceptional six-bedroom detached residence offers a rare combination of timeless architectural character, impressive proportions and high-spec contemporary finishes. Originally built in the 1920s with strong Art Deco and Arts & Crafts influences, the home has been thoughtfully extended and beautifully renovated, creating a refined and versatile space of almost 5,000 sq ft, ideal for modern family living.

From the moment you step into the spacious reception hall, the property’s unique charm is evident. Period details such as leaded windows, exposed brickwork and decorative plasterwork have been carefully preserved, while recent upgrades—including a full redecoration, premium kitchen and extended entertaining areas—seamlessly blend old and new. The ground floor flows with ease, with several formal and informal spaces designed to adapt to every occasion.

The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, complete with hand-painted cabinetry, a Lacanche range cooker, integrated appliances and roof lanterns that flood the room with natural light. Internal bi-fold doors connect this space to an elegant dining area and a garden-facing family room, creating flexibility to open up or section off as needed. Elsewhere on the ground floor you’ll find a separate sitting room, a games room with fitted bar, a home office, walk-in pantry, laundry room and generous storage throughout.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The principal suite features a beautifully appointed en suite and walk-in dressing room, while five further bedrooms are served by two family bath/shower rooms and an additional WC. Each room has its own character, with generous proportions and a continued sense of light and volume throughout.

The landscaped rear garden offers the perfect retreat, with mature trees providing privacy and structure around a south-facing lawn. A large paved terrace runs across the rear of the house, partially covered for all-season entertaining, and includes an outdoor dining area, BBQ space and a timber pergola. The front of the home is approached via secure electronic gates, with extensive parking and a triple garage discreetly set to one side.

This unique home offers a peaceful setting just outside Watford’s vibrant town centre, combining a sense of seclusion with excellent connectivity. Watford Junction and Watford Metropolitan line stations provide fast rail links into London, while the M1 and M25 are just minutes away. Highly regarded schools, both independent and state, are all within easy reach, along with open green space, golf clubs and the prestigious Grove Hotel & Country Club.
