Property description

A unique four bedroom detached house with a detached double garage and workshop and grounds of approximately 0.75 acres in the Hertfordshire village of Whitwell.

The property is set well back from the road in an elevated position with views across the Bowes Lyon Estate, and has over 2,400 sq. ft. of split level accommodation over three floors. The current owners have made some major improvements to the house including new windows throughout, a new kitchen and bathroom, and a resin driveway. On the ground floor is an entrance hall, an open plan sitting/dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom. There are a few steps down to the lower ground floor which has a utility room, a boot room and a study or a fourth bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The first floor has three double bedrooms and a main bathroom. At the front of the property there is a detached double garage with an electric roller door and a workshop with power and lighting which could be converted into a home office. There is driveway parking for up to six cars.

The newly fitted Neptune kitchen has a range of cabinets and integrated appliances and a window with views of the garden. The sitting/dining room is open plan with patio doors to the rear and full height windows to the front. The utility room houses the boiler and has plumbing for white goods. The separate boot room has a door to the garden and could be used as an office or playroom.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Three of the double bedrooms are on the first floor, and two of these have fitted wardrobes.
