4 bed detached house for sale

Highclere Drive, Hemel Hempstead HP3

A substantial four bedroom detached house on an exclusive private estate, offering potential for improvement and offered to the market with no onward chain.

This lovely detached home occupies a plot of approximately a third of an acre and has impressive far reaching views over the valley to the rear. Set back from the road, and in an elevated position, a large driveway to the front provides parking for several vehicles and there is also a double garage.

The ground floor layout includes a sizeable entrance hall leading through to a stunning open plan space which accommodates a bright kitchen, designed to incorporate plenty of storage and with a large island. Ample room is available for dining furniture and there is a pleasant snug area with lovely views to the rear with double doors adjacent which open into a large dual aspect living room with feature fireplace. The property has a separate utility room as well as a study and shower room, and there is a large annexe to the front, accessed from the porch, which has its own shower room and could suit a range of purposes.

There are four well proportioned bedrooms on the first floor, all with large windows overlooking the garden, and the largest has a superb balcony from which to enjoy the lovely views. Permission was previously obtained by the current owner for works to extend the accommodation increasing the footprint and creating further bedroom space if required.

The south-easterly facing gardens are beautifully landscaped and well maintained, with a large lawn, a selection of mature plants and trees and a lovely paved seating area.

Located on Highclere Drive, the property forms part of an exclusive private development with an active Residents’ Association dedicated to maintaining the high standards of the estate. Enjoying a peaceful setting with attractive surroundings, the area offers an excellent balance of privacy and convenience. The historic city of St Albans is just a short drive away and provides a wide range of boutique and high street shopping, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities.
