Nestled between the vibrant towns of Watford and St Albans, Bricket Wood is a tranquil and friendly village in Hertfordshire that combines the charm of countryside living with easy access to city life. With excellent schools, convenient transport links, and a close-knit community atmosphere, Bricket Wood is a fantastic place to call home for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
Step through the front door into a welcoming entrance hall, where a handy downstairs WC and a separate storage cupboard await you.
The kitchen/breakfast room has integrated appliances, plenty of cupboard storage and space for a breakfast/dining table.
The reception room, with French doors into the garden, offers the perfect living extension for those warm summer evenings.
On the first floor there is a spacious landing with a skylight and cupboard housing the boiler with extra space for a hoover and linen. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, the main having wardrobes and an en-suite shower/WC, the 2nd having wardrobes and a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden, with the 3rd bedroom also overlooking the garden and beyond.
Outside, the home continues to impress: The rear garden, which is laid with Astroturf, backs onto open views and there is a good size patio with which brings the indoors outdoors and is perfect for alfresco dining and summer lounging. There is also a newly installed large shed for bikes, tools, or storing equipment for outdoor hobbies such as camping. To the front of the house there is off street parking for 2 cars and plenty of space to install an EV charging point.
As a point of interest there is planning permission already in place to extend the living room further into the garden.
